Enclosed is a copy of your proposed dike plan with our watermains highlighted in yellow.
It appears that the majority of our facility is not disturbed by your improvements. However,
facilities such as hydrants and valve boxes affected by changes in the grade will need to be
adjusted in accordance with the districts' standards. Additionally, areas where the watermain
will exceed 6' cover, the pipeline must be sleeved with a steal casing to avoid future excavations
beyond our capabilities.
With regard to the aforementioned provisions, Highline Water District does not contest
your application for the proposed Dike improvements.

RE: Frager Road Dike Improvements SEPA Determination.
Gary L. VanDusen, Mayor
Pursuant to a letter dated 6/13/91 from Mr. Clint Lank,
Administrator of the Environmental Division of the King County
Parks, Planning & Resources Department, the City of Tukwila
Department of Community Development has conducted an
Environmental Review for the Frager Rd. Dike Improvements Project
(85- DR03).
On 6/28/91, following preparation by Tukwila's SEPA Official of a
"draft" determination of non - significance for the project, the
SEPA materials were submitted to Mr. Lank's office for comments
with a request for reply by 7/10/91.
During the morning hours of 7/10/91, I visited with Mr. Derek
Poon of Mr. Lank's Division, and informed him of our urgency to
obtain a SEPA determination in order to meet deadlines for
processing the Shorelines Permit (L91SH084) for this same
project. He stated that he would have a response for us by the
close of business on 7/1/91.
In the afternoon of 7/1/91, I spoke with Eric Stockdale, who had
been assigned the responsibility of reviewing the SEPA materials
and determining if there would be a need for comments on behalf
of the County. Mr. Stockdale stated that he had reviewed the
materials and that King County would not be providing comments on
the checklist or the determination of non - significance.
I then relayed this information to the SEPA Official for Tukwila
upon which he issued a formal Determination of Non - Significance
for the Frager Rd. Dike Improvements Project.

Dear Mr. Lank:
Gary L. VanDuscn, Mayor
Per your letter of June 13, 1991, our Department of Community
Development has assumed the "lead agency" role in the SEPA review
for that portion of Project 85 -DRO3 which lies outside the City
of Tukwila (Frager Rd. cutoff levee).
As stipulated in the same letter of June 13, I have requested
Tukwila's SEPA Official to provide you with the opportunity to
review and comment on all pertinent SEPA materials prior to
issuing a final SEPA determination on this project.
In our brief discussion on the project, I indicated that the
cutoff levee is the upstream end of a major levee improvement
project which extends from the proposed cutoff levee (Frager Rd.)
northward to I -405. This project has been in planning for
several years and in late April of this year we learned that the
originally proposed cutoff levee alignment would not work due to
problems with property acquisition and a possible sensitive area.
To preserve federal funding participation on the entire project
we must begin construction by September 1, 1991. This represents
an extremely short time frame within which we must obtain permits
through King County, and the final processing of our permits
cannot occur without a SEPA determination. Therefore, your
expeditious review and return of the enclosed SEPA materials
would be extremely beneficial to our continuing efforts to bring
this project to construction.
Your assistance and cooperation in this matter has been greatly
appreciated, as this project is of vital significance in the
flood protection of our central business district and the
regional efforts to deal with surface water increases in the
Green River Basin.

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
June 14, 1991
Subject: ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS - South Cutoff
Levee (Frager Rd.)
The proposed cutoff levee is the upstream tie to high ground for
a levee improvement project which extends from 1-405 to the south
past S. 180th St., along the west bank of the Green River. When
completed, the levee will have two feet of freeboard above the
Standard Project Flood (SPF). The Army Corps of Engineers is
participating in the project in an amount of $1.6 million,
however, if the project does not go to construction by September
ist, the federal funding will be withdrawn.
The cutoff levee was originally proposed in an area within the
City Limits of Tukwila and had to be relocated due to the
discovery of a small wetland in the originally proposed cutoff
levee alignment. A Shorelines permit had been issued for the
originally proposed cutoff levee as an element of the entire
project scope. The new proposed location, however, is outside the
City of Tukwila and requires King County Permits for Shorelines,
Grading, and R.O.W. Use. The City of Tukwila Department of
Community Development is serving as the lead agency on the SEPA
determination as approved by King County Environmental Review
Division (see Exhibit D -12 (d)).
The cutoff levee is to be constructed in the existing foot print
of an existing levee, a county roadway, and a private roadway.
No construction will occur on the riverward side of the existing
structures. There is no room riverward of the Frager Rd. (county
road) section of the levee to provide additional shade- related
vegetation.. Additional shade vegetation has been voluntarily
provided in the scope of work for portions of the levee
improvements within the City's limits to enhance the habitat
value for anadromous fish species in the river.
The Army Corps of Engineers conducted an environmental assessment
for the remainder of the proposed improvements (in the City
Limits), and the District Engineer issued a finding of no
significant impact. A wetlands biologist for the Corps also
visited the:site of the currently proposed cutoff levee and found
no evidence of wetlands (see Exhibit D- 12(b)).

MEMORANDUM FOR: RECORD
SUBJECT: Site Inspection of Proposed Cutoff Levee for Tukwila Levees to
Determine the Presence of Wetlands Within the Levee Alignment
1. Subject site inspection was conducted June 4, 1991, by Ken Brunner,
wildlife biologist for the Seattle District Corps of Engineers. Mr. Brunner
has been trained in the identification of wetlands and is competent to conduct
the subject inspection.
2. Project Description. Approximately 300 feet of existing levee would be
tapered; 925 feet of Frager Road would be raised; and 750 feet of cutoff
levee would be constructed along 196th Street. All of this work would be done
within the existing footprint of the various existing features, and would not
impinge on natural features. The lone exception to this may be along Frager
Road, where the levee may need to extend a few feet beyond the existing
footprint of the road.
3. Analysis. No wetlands were found along any of the three sections of
proposed levee construction, neither on existing structures nor adjacent to
the structures. The Green River flows riverward of the existing levee; the
vegetation on the riverward side of the levee consists of a tall, unidentified
grass (similar in appearance, but smaller than, reed canary grass); evergreen
blackberry, and Scot's broom. Horsetail (Equisetum sp.) was also present in
small patches. On the landward side of the levee was tilled farmland up to
the toe of the levee, and up to the edge of Frager Road. Likewise, along the
south edge of 196th is tilled farmland. Along the north edge 196th, and the
west side of Frager Road, is a paved lot. No standing water, and no evidence
of standing water was found anywhere in the vicinity of the proposed
alignment. Soil pits were not dug, though the soil surface was inspected at
random, and no saturated soils were found. The soils may or may not be
considered hydric, but soils maps were not available at the time of
inspection. Though evidence is sketchy, the undersigned feels that, based on
the lack of wetland vegetation, that no wetlands exist in the vicinity of the
proposed levee alignment.

PLANNING DEPT.
As a result of changing the location of the proposed cutoff levee, the legal descriptions for
the Certification of Lands to the Corps of Engineers requires revision. The attached legal
descriptions will replace those descriptions which were enclosed with my letter dated
April 15, 1991.
The changes are, for the most part, only at the south end of the project where the previous
cutoff levee location has been abandoned and moved south; however, certain other
descriptions have been revised. Therefore, the enclosed series of descriptions reflects all
revisions and, when title matters are cleared, will be sufficient for certification to the
Corps.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
REED MIDDLETON, INC.

Dear Mr. Kipp:
In a letter dated May 3rd I indicated that the City of Tukwila is
pursuing construction of levee improvements along the Green River
both within and immediately south of our city limits. The
project has been closely coordinated with King County Surface
Water Management Division and the Corps of Engineers and is
funded to a large extent with Corps funds.
If the construction of this project is delayed beyond the 1991
season, it is very likely that we will lose funding assistance.
Therefore, we are seeking any means available to expedite the
permitting processes associated with this project. As stated in
my previous letter, the City must obtain a Shoreline Permit,
Grading Permit, Right -of -Way Use Permit, and SEPA Determination,
from the County, for those portions of the project which are
outside the City.
In an effort to meet our restrictive time line and begin
construction this season, we respectfully request that you
consider transferring responsibility for the SEPA process to the
City of Tukwila Department of Community Development (DCD). This
transfer is appropriate as DCD is very familiar with the project
specifics and have conducted the SEPA review for the remainder of
the proposed levee improvements.
With your concurrence, our DCD will move forward with their
review and determination for the section of levee improvements
outside the City. To ensure that the County has input in the
process, our SEPA Official plans to provide your agency with a
copy of the checklist for review and comments prior to issuing a
determination. The City will seek the remaining required permits
listed above through applicable County agencies.
My staff have met with Chris Tiffany and Anna Nelson of your
staff to discuss this issue and they have indicated that they are
not opposed to the option. If you concur, it is very likely that
we can move forward on this regionally significant project.

Please advise me regarding your decision on this matter or if you
have any questions regarding the project. We are very short of
time and need to begin processing the required materials as soon
as possible. Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
oss Earnst,
Public Works Director

PLANNING DEPT.
SUBJECT: Corps 205 - Dike /Levee Improvement Project
Frager Road and Taper to Existing Levee /South 196th
Cross Levee Environmental
Gary L. VonDusen, Mayor
Enclosed you find the completed Environmental Checklist to carry out
raising of 925 LF of Frager Road; approximately 300 LF of taper from
raised Frager Road along the existing levee adjacent to Frager Road;
and, the raising of 750 LF of private roadway on private property
(Segale). The above work will be accomplished on City easements to
be granted by King County and private property ownerships. Per the
attached vicinity map the 3 segments of levee work exists within King
County just south of the City's southerly boundary at the point that
Frager Road joins the west bank of the Green River.
The purpose of this project is to improve the existing road as a
flood control levee by achieving the roadway elevation shown on the
enclosed drawings (elevation 35.2). The raised roadway will improve
flood containment along this reach of the Green River plus require
freeboard sufficient to accommodate to water surface elevations
estimated by the Corps of Engineers for their standard project flood
(which exceeds the 500 year event). This work is proposed to
facilitate Tukwila's involvement as a local sponsor to federally
assisted levee improvements totalling some 1.6 million dollars in
downstream reaches. The work is scheduled to begin in the summer of
1991.
The Corps, the City and King County have all been working with other
agencies and property owners for the past two years in expediting
this project. The environmental process has been carried out for the
original dike /levee scope of work with the Corps as lead agency (copy
enclosed). The City has also prepared the Christensen Road Project
which is part of the committment for the Corps 205 Project and is now
about to be advertised for summer of 1991 construction.
The City has also carried out a shoreline permitting process through
your department for the Corps 205 /Christensen Road Projects.
At this late time frame, the scope for the southerly end of the
Jack Pace

project has been changed and now requires processing of permits and
easement acquisitions through the county and private property owners.
The permits which will be required from the county include the
following:
1. Shoreline Permit
2. Right -of -Way Construction Permit
3. Grade and Fill Permit
It is not anticipated the County's SAO process will be triggered by
this work per recent discussions with County BAQLD officials.
The raising of Frager Road and utilization for the additional
function of flood protection by the City will require a flood
easement from the property owners and a right -of -way construction
permit from the County; the taper from Frager Road to the existing
levee and the levee to the City boundaries will require a conversion
of the existing King County easement via King County to the City
(also allowing for the taper); finally, a new easement will be
required from private property owner to the City for the new cross
levee at South 196th Street from Frager Road to the west and the hill
(approximately 750 LF).
The City has been in touch with all private property owners and
public agencies affected by this process and is working with the
property owners and King County to get the permitting process
accomplished now. The first order of business before the Shoreline
Permit, Right -of -Way Construction Permit and the Grade and Fill
Permit can be processed, is to obtain a SEPA determination.
From my meeting with Anna Shell of BALD, who carries out the
Shoreline permit for the County and Chris Tiffany of BALD who carries
out the Grade and Fill permitting process, informed George Kessler of
SSWM, Noel Gilbrough of the Corps of Engineers and myself (5/20/91)
that King County is agreeable to other agencies providing lead agency
status to carry out the environmental process, and also invited the
City to carry out the environmental process to expedite the entire
project. Today I'm writing a letter to BALD, which you will receive
a copy of, which states the City of Tukwila will accept this
suggestion and is proceeding ahead with this project accordingly.
The City has also been in touch with the heads of various King County
departments to expedite the permitting process including Lou Haff,
County Engineer, George Wanamaker of the Roads Division, Jim Kramer
of King County SSWM (SSWM has been working very closely with the City
and the Corps throughout the development of the Corps 205 Project),
Pearl McElheran, Manager for the Real Property Division and Greg
Kipp, Manager at BALD. Copies of May 3, 1991 letters to County
Managers reflecting our coordination efforts are enclosed in this
submittal.

The scope of this project is to raise approximately 925 feet of
Frager Road, an average of 2 feet; providing the taper from the
raised Frager Road along the existing dike /levee for approximately
300 feet to meet existing dike elevation of 35.2; and, finally
raising the existing private roadway approximately 4 - 7 feet from
Frager Road to meet the existing hillside Elevation 35.2 - all of
which is to provide 2 feet of freeboard above the standard project
flood elevation (final elevation 35.2 - NGVD). All this work will be
accomplished within the parameters of the existing roadways and
Frager Road roadway right -of -way and in such a manner as to not
affect nor impact any other uses. The final product will be a
conversion of existing roadways, both public and private, and tie
into the existing Green River levee in such a manner as to provide
the necessary SPF diking which provides necessary flood protection to
the City's infrastructure. This work is the final link for the Corps
205 Project.
Finally enclosed you will find a copy of the Corps original
environmental which the Corps took lead agency status. If you have
any questions regarding this matter do not hesitate to call me and or
in my absence Doug Micheau of Public Works.

RE: Permit Applications -Green River Levee Improvements
(Corps 205)
Dear Mr. Kipp:
Gan' L. I7niDusen, Mayor
As shown on the proposed site plan and construction drawings, the
City of Tukwila in cooperation with the Corps of Engineers, is
seeking a permit from King County to raise and complete flood
protection levee's on the left bank of the Green River. It is my
understanding based on initial discussions with King County Surface
Water Management Division, who have helped to scope this levee
project as part of the overall Green River Levee Improvement Plan
(Interlocal Agreement), that Tukwila will need a county approval of
shorelines and filling and grading permits for this project. Please
accept this letter and application for these permits. Coincident
with this application as part of this project, I am also applying for
a Right -of -Way Construction Permit as noted in the enclosed letters
to Real Property Division Manager, Pearl McElheran and County
Engineer, Lou Haff. I understand this permit will need your staff
approval and you will also need to issue this permit.
For the City to retain eligibility for major federal funding of this
effort, I must request your highest priority in expediting review of
this application. To this end please notify me at your earliest .
opportunity of any additional information or submittals necessary for
your review and approval of these or any other permits King County
deems necessary.

RE: Frager Road Right -of -Way Construction Permit
and Easement
Dear Ms. McElheran:
Gan' L. VunDusc», Mayor
Enclosed with this letter is a proposal to raise the road bed
along Frager Road for a distance of 925 lineal feet. This project
is to improve the existing road as a flood control levee by
achieving the roadway elevation shown on the enclosed drawings.
The raised roadway will provide flood containment along this reach
of the Green River plus required freeboard sufficient to
accommodate water surface elevations estimated by the Corps of
Engineers for their standard project flood (which exceeds the 500
year event). This work is proposed to facilitate Tukwila's
involvement as local sponsor to federally assisted levee
improvements totalling some 1.6 million dollars in downstream
reaches.
I am therefore requesting your processing and execution of the en-
closed flood control easements for the land area affected by these
improvements. I am also requesting issuance to the City of
Tukwila of a right of way construction permit allowing for this
work to proceed during the coming summer months.
It is urgent the King County easements be issued no later than May
10th, in order for the City to maintain its eligibility to have
this project carried out with CORP's assistance. Other permits
and approvals need to be accomplished before July, 1991 to allow
the City contract for the roadway improvements together with the
downstream CORP's improvements.
These improvements are part of those shown in the 1987 Green River
Levee Improvement Plan. Together with the downstream levee
improvements, King County's Surface Water Management Division has
actively worked toward implementing this construction in concert
f. with the City of Tukwila and the CORP's. If you have any
questions with regards to SWM's involvement please call SWM
Division Manager Jim Kramer at 296 -6585.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact Phil Fraser,
Project Manager at 433 -0179.

RE: Frager Road Right -of -Way Construction, Permit and Easement -
(Reference Corps 205 Project)
Dear Lou:
The City of Tukwila has applied to King County Real Property Division
in our May 3, 1991 letter to Pearl McElheran requesting approval of.
work to raise Frager Road. Copies of the proposed construction plan
have been forwarded to Supervising Engineer, George Wanamaker, of
your staff. •Mr. Wanamaker has requested me through discussions with.
staff and the Surface Water Management of King County, to formally
request your written approval of the proposed construction shown on
these plans.
It is my understanding your letter approving this work will be
required by the Building. and Land Development Division prior to their
issuance of the right -of -way construction permit we have requested in
our May .3 letter to Ms. McElheran.
As you will note in that letter, we are under severe time limits to
accomplish this work in order to retain federal funding for this
project. our cooperation for this project of mutual benefit will be
most appr ciated.
If you have any questions concerning this matter do not hesitate to
call me at 433 -0179.

Re: Lower Green River Flood Control
Study, Tukwila, Washington .
Dear Mr. Foster:
We have reviewed your recent letter regarding the Lower Green River Flood
Control Study. The project area includes no recorded significant
archaeological sites, but is near a potential historic district in the
community of Orilla. However it is our understanding that the proposed
project will include levee construction for flood control on the Green
River, and that construction will have no effect of any potential historic
resources.
If I can be of further assistance., please call me at (206) 586 -2901.

LOWER GREEN RIVER STUDY
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
To Whom It May Concern:
AUG 2 (? tC
The Tukwila study has been conducted under authority of Section 205 of the 1948 Flood
control Act, as amended. It was prepared in response to a letter from King County dated 2
June 1987 which requested Federal assistance in providing flood protection to the city of
Tukwila from flooding from the Green River. In the course of the study the city of Tukwila
took over the sponsorship of the proposed project as it lies wholly within the city limits of
Tukwila.
The results of the preliminary planning indicated that only one alternative, raising an existing
levee and either tieing into a private land owner's levee improvement or adding a short cutoff
levee to provide standard project flood (SPF) protection, met the requirements of economic,
engineering, and environmental feasibility while responding to the flood damage reduction
criteria. The costs and benefits for this alternative were compared to the "no- action"
alternative. Due to the significant amount of development within the flood plain, flood
proofing and setback levees were not considered as viable alternatives.
The environmental impacts of the proposed action are typical of any small construction project.
These include short-term increases in noise, dust, and debris and vehicular traffic disruption.
There will also be temporary loss of recreational and Levee top vegetation, and the cutoff levee
will cover up to 12 acre of wetland. If the Federal project ties_into a private levee, impacts
associated with the cutoff levee will not occur. Various measures will be taken to assure that
more severe impacts do not occur:
• Avoid construction or equipment operation in the Green River. '
• Avoid construction, material placement, or negative disruption of riverward levee
slopes.
• Minimize construction disruption of recreational activity on the strip park portion of
the levee.
• Use existing sources of clean quarry materials for levee improvements.
• Take extreme precaution to avoid petroleum product spols during construction. •
• Area restoration.'
The planning for this project complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and agency
consultations, including the Endangered Species Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and
National Environmental Policy Act. Based on the analysis described above and provided in
more detail in the environmental assessment, it has been determined that the project will not
result in significant adverse environmental impacts. The proposed project is not a major action
and, therefore, does not require preparation of an environmental impact statement.

Re: July 5, 1990 Draft EA for the lower Green River Flood Control Project at
Tukwila, Washington
Dear Mr. Ploudre:
The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the above referenced
document and provides the following comments for your use and consideration in
preparing the final document.
The project has been revised to include a new optional levee alignment which
would allow a tie -in with a private landowner's proposed levee and eliminate
the need for a cut -off levee at the upstream end of the project. Our under-
standing is that the private landowner intends to develop the large area of
undeveloped floodplain located adjacent to the upstream boundary of the
project.
The Service is concerned that this option could be facilitating the proposed
development and, therefore, may not comply with Executive Order 11988,
Floodplain Management. This Executive Order directs federal agencies that are
carrying out federal actions to avoid direct or indirect support of new
construction or development in floodplains. It also directs that environ-
mental assessments for all federal action proposals contain a thorough
analysis of all direct and indirect potential impacts to floodplains, and
state whether other suitable alternatives are available if impacts are to
occur. This concern is also addressed in our draft Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act report which is in preparation.
The Service recommends that the Corps address adherence to the Floodplain
Management Order in the final Environmental Assessment, particularly in
relation to the new option.

REVISED* ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
LOWER GREEN RIVER FLOOD CONTROL STUDY
TUKWILA, WASHINGTON
10 July 1990
1. Project Background. Location. Description. Cverview. and Need.
a. Authority. This study is conducted under authority of Section 205 of
the 1948 Flood Control Act, as amended. It was prepared in response to a
letter from King County dated 2 June 1987 which requested Federal assistance
in providing flood protection to the city of Tukwila from flooding from the
Green River. In the course of the study the city of Tukwila took over the
sponsorship of the proposed project as it lies wholely within the city limits
of Tukwila.
b. btudy Area. The study area is along the left bank of the Green River
in southwestern King County, Washington State. The Green River drains an area
of 438 square miles (see figure 1) as it flows west and north from the Cascade
Mountains 60 miles to the historic mouth of the Black River, forming the
Duwamish River. The Duwamish River empties into Elliott Bay in Puget Sound in
Seattle 11 miles downstream.
c. Needs. Howard A. Hanson Dam at river mile (R.M.) 64.5 and a system of
levees provides flood control to the lower Green River Basin. King County and
the cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton, and Tukwila have recently competed a
comprehensive study of the Green River levee system. That study identified
riverbank areas between the cities of Auburn and Tukwila that do not have
sufficient height to contain design flows and still provide adequate levels of
freeboard. One of the most significant reaches of deficient levee identified
in these studies was also identified by a Corps of Engineers 1984 study of the
Green River. This area is on the left bank of the river, extending along
Christensen Road in Tukwila southerly to approximately South 196th Street on
Frager Road (see figure 2). The 1984 Corps of Engineers study also proposed
improvements to this 3.5 mile reach which the local governments agreed to
sponsor. The Corps of Engineers later determined that the project could not
be implemented based on a concern that the levee improvement would not provide
complete flood protection to the benefitted area and would be dependent on the
performance of other locally constructed and maintained levees. Mapping
indicated that this levee reach (see figure 2) would be complete unto itself
with the addition of a small cutoff levee at its upstream end. Developments
during plans and specifications have allowed the option of tieing into a
private levee being planned by the Seattle District, Corps of Engineers. Such
a tie in would forego the need to construct the cutoff levee. The private
(Sepale) levee is undergoing a separate planning and permit review at the
present time.
*This revision complements and supplements the draft EA coordinated in July
1989. Revisions, changes, and additions are resultant from comments received
on the draft EA and project options added during preparation of plans and
specifications.

. The•Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) has conducted a flood
' plain management study for the past several years that included the Tukwila
area. This study has concluded that'a significant portion of the study area
lies within the 100 -year flood plain and is in the process of revising their
maps to indicate this. The city has completed interim repairs to the levees
to ensure that the city stays out of the 100 -year flood plain as designated by
FEMA. The city coordinated this action with FEMA and the Corps of Engineers.
2. Alternatives.
a. General. The results of the preliminary planning indicated that only
one alternative, the SPF levee, met the requirements of economic, engineering,
and environmental feasibility while responding to the planning criteria. The
costs and benefits for this alternative were compared to the "no- action"
alternative. Due to the significant amount of development within the flood
plain, flood proofing and set back levees were not considered as viable
alternatives.
b. The No- Action Alternative.. No action by the Corps of Engineers would
be taken for flood damage reduction through either structural or nonstructural
means. The no- action alternative would result in the continuation of average
annual flood damages in the study area estimated to be *387,500.
c. The SPF Levee Alternative - The Recommended Plan. The recommended
plan would be a modification to the existing 100 -year protection levee to
increase its height so that it would protect the study area against an SPF
flood. This would entail modifications to 3.5 miles of existing levee from
R.M. 12.7 to R.M. 16.2.
3. The Proposed Project.
a. General. The downstream end of the project begins at the Highway 405
Bridge across the Green River. The project parallels the river incorporating
500 feet of high ground from Highway 405 south along Christensen Road. From
here the levee begins, requiring 780 feet of Christensen Road to be raised
approximately 2 feet. The levee then leaves Christensen Road and begins to
follow the Green River trail systems along the river for approximately 11,550
feet. The first 2,080 feet of the trail system lies above the SPF level and
ties to high ground. From here the project then requires a levee improvement
for the next 6,540 feet of the park. The next 2,930 feet of the trail system
which is located on top of an existing levee would be raised from 180th Street
Bridge over the Green River to the southern end of the trail along the vest
bank. Both of these levee segments would average approximately 18 inches in
height. The project would then raise 5,270 feet of an existing levee adjacent
to the Segale development from 180th Street to the southern city limit of
Tukwila. This levee segment would average approximately a 1 foot increase in
height. Feasibility studies indicated here the project would leave the river
requiring a cutoff levee approximately 535 feet long to tie the project to
high ground at the west side of the flood plain. An option identified during
preparation of plans and specifications would consist of tying the upstream
4
• •
end of the improved levee into a levee to protect a proposed developement by a
local landowner that would consist of approximately 200 acres and would run
from the upstream end of the proposed Section 205 project to 204th Street.
This development would be constructed with a Corps approved SPF levee and
include a 9 -acre retention pond. This proposal is being planned by the
landowner in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and may be
completed in time to meet the Federal project.
b. Relocations. The alignment of the levee requires the relocation of
approximately 780 feet of Christensen Road (includes transitional slopes to
match the existing grade of Christensen Road), 4,700 feet of a 6- foot -wide
running path with a crushed brick surface and 2,930 feet of a 10- foot -✓wide
asphalt path. The relocation of Christensen Road is necessary to maintain
vehicle access to existing businesses. The design of the Christensen Road
relocation has been previously designed for the city of Tukwila. The trail,
parking area, and approximately 100 feet of the road design are not considered
part of the relocation required for this project.
The existing running path and bike path will be relocated where necessary on
top of the new levee sections. The width of the two paths and the surface
materials used will be the same in order to maintain the current use of the
paths and to provide esthetic continuity throughout the park.
c. Landscape Restoration. Landscape restoration of the proposed project
includes topsoiling and sodding or seeding embankments and disturbed surfaces,
relocating or replacing existing park trees, and restoration of recreation
trails and replacement or relocation of existing site furnishings. The main
objective of the landscape restoration is to maintain a safe and esthetically
pleasing project in light of the regional value and high public use of the
Green River trail system and to replace habitat value.
Restoration of new or disturbed surfaces (including contractor staging and
access areas) shall include topsoiling (2 -inch depth) and grass seeding or
sodding. Sodding shall be performed in all disturbed areas of the Christensen
Greenbelt Park which had previously been maintained lawn as well as other
surfaces adjacent to trails or recreation site features where quick
establishment is required due to high public use. Seeding shall be performed
on all other surfaces to be grassed (primarily large embankment slopes and low
maintenance areas).
Trees requiring removal and considered cost effective to be relocated shall be
removed and placed on the landward side of the levee, if possible. The loss
of existing park trees determined not cost effective to relocate shall be
replaced with a 4 -inch diameter tree of similar species (based_ on availability
and appropriateness) in a new location. At present, only a single large tree
will be required to be destroyed. Wherever possible, no fill material shall
be placed within the drip line of existing trees to be retained as this will
cause irreparable damage to tree roots and eventual death of the tree.
5
• •
Recreation features (consisting primarily of picnic tables, benches, bollards,
and signs) throughout the park and trail system that are impacted by the flood
control project shall be relocated. Maintaining as much barrier —free access
as possible to the trail systems shall be considered throughout project design
and construction.
Grade transitions between existing and proposed slopes shall be smooth
(especially to trails or paths) to provide a safe and esthetically pleasing
project. Transitions between levee types shall be given special attention
during design to avoid abrupt grade changes and sharp tail turns. Trail
surfaces shall be placed flush with the finished grade for ease of mowing and
public safety.
4. Affected Environment. The Green River Valley is about 2 miles wide and
contains rich agricultural bottomland. The lower part of the valley from
Auburn to Tukwila is currently undergoing rapid transformation from
agricultural to light industry, large shopping centers, and residential
development.
Within the project area, the Green River is a slow, meandering stream with an
unconsolidated bottom. It is confined to a deep channel about 100 to 200 feet
in width. The river banks are predominantly part of an extensive earth
embankment levee system with smaller areas of high natural banks. A few bends
in the river may be armored with riprap. Representative vegetation growing
along the banks of the river consist of esquisetum, juncus, reed canarygrass,
blackberry spp., and a few cottonwood trees. In summer months aquatic
vegetation and filamentous algae grow along shorelines and shallows.
AQUATIC RESOURCES
Fish habitat within the project area has been severely altered. Commercial
development, clearing and filling of land, increased volumes and rates of
stormwater runoff, building construction, and diking and piping within the
floodplain /riparian corridor have had major impacts on water quality and fish
habitat. Key anadromous fish species found in the system include steelhead
trout, searun cutthroat trout, fall chinook, coho, and chum salmon. In
addition, there are a variety of resident fish.
The portion of the Green River that flows through the project area is used by
anadromous fish primarily for transportation and rearing. Fall chinook, coho,
and chum are the principle salmon species utilizing this section of the river.
The Washington Department of Fisheries (WDF) reported a 1986 estimated total
escapement of 15,574 fall chinook, 18,982 coho; and 6,188 chum for the Green -
Duwamish River.
The Green River has been one of Washington State's top 20 summer steelhead
rivers in recent years. Summer and winter steelhead smolts have been planted
in the Green River watershed. Winter —run smolt releases in 1987 totaled
140,000 (WDW released 114,000 and treaty tribes 25,900). These fish may
remain in the Green River for 2 -3 years before migrating to the ocean.. They
6
return to spawn usually after 2 -3 years. Total run size for the winter -run
steelhead for 1987 -1988 was estimated at 10,023. The sport catch for Green -
Duwamish River steelhead was estimated at 720 for 1987 summer -run and 2,301
for 1987 -1988 winter run.
TERRESTRIAL RESOURCES
Alteration and destruction of wildlife habitat has occurred and continues to
occur in the lower Green River Valley. Significant losses of riparian habitat
and seasonally flooded wetlands adjacent to the river have increased because
of accelerated development within the floodplain, and the flood control
projects that have been implemented to protect those developments.
Species of wildlife that occur or have occurred in the past are probably those
that typically use riparian and wetland areas. Mammal species would include
beaver, muskrat, mink, river otter, striped skunk, long - tailed weasel and
numerous small mammals. Waterfowl, wading birds, and passerine birds probably
inhabit the area year - around or transitionally during migration. Mallards,
common mergansers, and great blue herons were observed in or near the project
site during an onsite visit.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The alinement for the project was disturbed by construction of the existing
levee and there is no potential for discovery of cultural resources.
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
In accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended, the Corps is required to assure that their actions have taken into
consideration impacts to federally listed or proposed threatened or endangered
species for all federally funded, constructed, permitted, or licensed projects.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has determined in their letter of April 25,
1989, to the best of present knowledge, there are no listed or proposed
threatened or endangered species occurring within the project area. Should a
species become officially listed or proposed before completion of the project,
the Corps would fulfill its continuing responsibilities as described in
sections 7(a) and (c) of the Act.
5. Environmental Impacts and Ameliorative Measures.
a. General. Impacts of the proposed action - the SPF levee - are typical
of any small construction project. These include short -term increases in
noise, dust, and debris and vehicular traffic disruption. There will be
temporary loss of recreational and levee top vegetation. Up to approximately
X acre of wetlands may be covered by the cutoff levee.
7
b. Fish Resources.
• Impacts to fish populations and fish habitat are not expected
because the project is located on the top of an existing levee
system and no construction would be done'on the riverward side of
the levee in the Green River. There may be opportunities to
increase shading.
• During the construction phase, potential siltation and turbidity
could occur should bank excavation or the new materials for
rebuilding the levee enter into the river. Futhermore, if
petroleum products from construction equipment or construction
activities entered the river, this could also potentially cause
adverse impacts to fish and other aquatic organisms.
c. Wildlife Resources.
• Approximately 12,840 square feet (.29 acres) of floodplain habitat
would be impacted from the construction of a new cutoff levee
located at the upstream end of the project area. The vegetation
in this area is primarily reed canarygrass and Himalayan
blackberry. A small section of the impact area near Frager Road
is dominated with cattail and sedge. The cutoff levee would
border agricultural land to the south and commercial development
on the north side. Wildlife use of this habitat is unknown. This
habitat will be definitively characterized during plans and
specifications and, if warranted, ameliorative measures or replacement
will be included in the project. This impact will not occur if the
option to meet private levee is undertaken.
• Short term direct impacts to wildlife could potentially occur
during the construction phase of the project. Displacement of
wildlife from using the riparian habitat along the levee system
would be localized to the area of construction activity. The
actual effects to mammals and avian species would be unknown, but
would be expected to be temporary since the degree and duration
of construction activity at any one location should be small.
• Because the major part of the project is located on top of an
existing levee, disturbance of wildlife habitat will be minimal.
However, the project could involve removal of one existing mature
tree along the top of the levee. This would eliminate habitat
for perching birds, primarily passerine species. As compensation
for loss of these trees, the project included replacement of
similar species and in a nearby location. A substantial amount
of time will pass before the replacement trees are able to grow
large enough to provide an equal amount of perching habitat.
Replacement plans include planting of fast growing trees up and
downstream of the railroad bridge just upstream of Strander
Boulevard.
8
• The project would disturb existing vegetation on top of the levee
and at construction equipment, access and staging areas. Project
designs have incorporated restoration of new or disturbed
surfaces by topsoiling and grass seeding or sodding. Impacts
should be short—term if vegetation measures are directed towards
restoring and replacing stable and diverse vegetation cover as
soon as possible following project construction. Maintenance of
revegetation measures is the responsibility of the local sponsor
of the project.
d. Mitigation to Ameliorate and Avoid Impacts.
(1) Avoid construction or equipment operation in the Green River.
(2) Avoid construction, material placement, or vegetative disruption
of riverward levee slopes. However, other policies govern the long —term
maintenance of levee systems which are separate and apart from levee
construction authorities. These policies relate to maintenance of any levee
for which Federal funds may be expended (Public Law 99 program). The existing
levees being improved through the proposed project are subject to these
policies —even if the project were not undertaken. While vegetation (brush,
blackberry vines, etc.) located riverward of the new construction would not be
removed as an integral part of this project it may be partially removed prior
and subsequent to the project. Such partial removal will only be accomplished
to the extent necessary to inspect and maintain the integrity of the existing
levee and to preserve the design capacity. If the levee improvements we
propose are implemented, there will continue to be vegetation control by the
local sponsor as required in an operating agreement.
(3) Minimize mud and dirt tracking from construction sites.
(4) Minimize construction disruption of recreational activity on the
strip park portion of the levee.
(5) Use existing sources of clean quarry materials for levee
improvements.
(6) Take extreme precaution to avoid petroleum product spills during
construction.
(7) Area restoration as described.
6. •v . , u - , . . • -_• • • • . - - , • • - • • • The planning
for this project will comply with all applicable laws, regulations and agency
consultations including the Endangered Species Act, Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (FWCA), and National Environmental Policy Act. Requirements
of the FWCA will be completed during preparation of plans and specifications.

RI: Draft EA and Definite Project Report
Lower Green River at Tukwila flood Control
Dear Mr. Vrabeck;
We Dave reviewed the above referenced project proposal document, and
conducted several field investigations of the project site. On 1/23/89
we contacted Mr. Noel GS1I:r ough to discuss our concerns with this
proposed project. The following comments encapsulize this conversation.
The Tribe is very concerned With vegetation management on the entire
Green River, and particularly with the lower Green /Duwamish. It s
Intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer that there is a
severe lec1; of shading vegetation along the lower Green, due mainly to
flood control practices. This has resulted in critically high water
temperatures for returning fall chinook salmon and a lack of shade for
'ding cover. The Green River has the largest chinook run in South
get Sound. The total return to the river in fall of 1989 is projected
m t 20,00C t= 30,000 chinook. On page 4 the Draft EA incorrectly states
the 1985 estimated total run size of 692 fall chinook and 8.132 chum for
the Greer.- Duwamish River.- The actual predicted total run size for 1985
fall ch:'r,:!- was.15,500 according to the joint VDT/Tribal Report (see
attachment). We suspect the chum number is 8,132.
The pr ;osed levee project area contains numerous large trees (up to
4' diameter) along the banks of the Green River. These trees provide
the only shade for meny miles of the lower Green and are therefore very
important to retain at all costs. The project proposal mentions that
trees over 6" diameter are too costly to relocate and will be replaced
with a 4" diameter tree of similar species. The Tribe does not feel.
that replacing a 4 foot diameter shade tree with a 4 inch diameter ttree
(which will not provide shade for the river for decades, if ever) is
.Y
acceptable. ;.
We suggest revising the LA for this project to reflect protection of.all
large trees, and if it Is absolutely impossible tol protect them, that
they be replaced with ten or more 4 -6 inch diameter trees that will be
located close enough to actually shade the green River. On 1/23/89, ?!r.
Gilbrough noted that only one to three large trees would have to be •
removed, and that a large bar at river mile 13 would be a good site for
planting the much smaller replacement trees. While the Tribe would.
-refer on -site replacement, this would appear to be an acceptable
mpromise.

RE: Lower Green River Flood Control Study
Dear Mr. Urabeck:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Draft Environmental
Assessment (DEA) and Definite Project Report (DPR) for the above- referenced
study. It is gratifying to see the substantial progress made toward implemen-
tation of this Phase I recommendation of the Green River Basin Program's 1967
Green River Levee Improvement Plan. I fully concur with the bulk of the find-
ings and analyses provided by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE)
in these draft documents. Based on the Surface Water Management Division's
review of these project - related materials, I have the following single comment
to offer:
Section 5.b. of the DEA should also reference the possible removal of mature
cottonwoods from the top of the levees as a potential impact to fisheries
resources. While Section 5.c. properly deals with these habitat impacts
to passerine bird species, it is important to note the critical reliance of
fish species on the shade provided by such large trees. This comment also
applies to recommendation 5 on page 7 of Appendix C to the DPR. Both high
temperatures and temperature- related concerns with low dissolved oxygen levels
have been consistently noted as factors potentially limiting utilization of
remaining fish habitat in the lower Green River. Studies performed both by
Metro and through the Green River Basin Program have outlined this concern,
and strongly recommend preservation of any relict stands of mature cotton-
woods which may still remain. Depending upon specific levee siting decisions
to be made by the COE, it may be possible for preservation of these trees to
be incorporated Into the flood control project, pursuant to Section 7 -6(3) of
the COE's March 31, 1978 Engineer Manual No. EM111O -2 -1913, entitled, 'Design
and Construction of Levees.' This is a key concern as removal of these large
trees on the levee face, as stated on page 26 of.Appendix B, seems to contra-
dict the DEA's pledge to 'avoid vegetation disruption of rlverward levee
slopes.'
• Mr. Frank Urabeck

Seattle District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is nearing completion of Plans and
Specifications for flood control of the lower Green River at Tukwila, Washington. During
these studies an optional levee alinement was identified. This is a variation in plans
communicated to you in 1989 as we completed our feasibility investigation. Specifically, a
private land owner is proceeding with plans to construct levee improvements upstream of the
Federal project. If this work is completed on a timely basis, it will allow a tie -in with the Corps
project thereby eliminating the need for a cut -off levee. Enclosed is a draft environmental
assessment for the project revised to address this potential change. Please review this
document and provide any comments you may have by August 10, 1990.
You may contact Noel Gilbrough (206) 764 -3652 or Mike McNeely (206) 764 -3627 for

DRAFT
LOWER GREEN RIVER STUDY
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
To Whom It May Concern:
5 July 1990
The Tukwila study has been conducted under authority of Section 205 of the 1948 Flood
control Act, as amended. It was prepared in response to a letter from King County dated 2
June 1987 which requested Federal assistance in providing flood protection to the city of
Tukwila from flooding from the Green River. In the course of the study the city of Tukwila
took over the sponsorship of the proposed project as it lies wholly within the city limits of
Tukwila.
The results of the preliminary planning indicated that only one alternative, raising an existing
levee and either tieing into a private land owner's levee improvement or adding a short cutoff
levee to provide standard project flood (SPF) protection, met the requirements of economic,
engineering, and environmental feasibility while responding to the flood damage reduction
criteria. The costs and benefits for this alternative were compared to the "no- action"
alternative. Due to the significant amount of development within the flood plain, flood
proofing and setback levees were not considered as viable alternatives.
The environmental impacts of the proposed action are typical of any small construction project.
These include short -term increases in noise, dust, and debris and vehicular traffic disruption.
There will also be temporary loss of recreational and levee top vegetation, and the cutoff levee
will cover up to 12 acre of wetland. If the Federal project ties into a private levee, impacts
associated with the cutoff levee will not occur. Various measures will be taken to assure that
more severe impacts do not occur:
• Avoid construction or equipment operation in the Green River.
• Avoid construction, material placement, or negative disruption of riverward levee
- slopes. - -
• Minimize construction disruption of recreational activity on the strip park portion of
the levee.
• Use existing sources of clean quarry materials for levee improvements.
• Take extreme precaution to avoid petroleum product spills during construction.
• Area restoration.
• •
The 'planning for this project complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and agency
consultations, including the Endangered Species Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and
National Environmental Policy Act. Based on the analysis described above and provided in
more detail in the environmental assessment, it has been determined that the project will not
result in significant adverse environmental impacts. The proposed project is not a major action
and,,therefore, does not require preparation of an environmental impact statement.
