B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site (circle one):
Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous,
other
Terrain varies from flat to hilly with some steep
slopes within the City.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site
(approximate percent slope)?
c.
200%
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.
Soils vary among specific projects but are
predominantly woodinville series.
d. Are there surface indications or history of
unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
Yes, there are several specific locations in the
City where landslides have occurred in the past.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate
quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
Filling and grading is typical of major street
improvement projects as well as park and new
facility construction. Design and construction
of all projects will minimize elevation changes
and fill quantities to conform to standards and
objectives of the Land - Altering Ordinance which
is to be adopted early in 1991.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing,
construction,or use? If so, generally describe.
Yes, however erosion will be locally contained
and project specific with control measures
required as project construction contract
requirements per the proposed Land - Altering
Ordinance.
g-
• •
-4-
About what percent of the site will be covered
with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Generally, all specific project sites (excluding
parks) will end up as 80 -100% impervious
surfaces; as a portion of total area within the
City; the amount is less than 25 %. The impacts
in regard to impervious surface will be assessed
on a project specific basis through the SEPA
process.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or
other impacts to the earth, if any:
2. Air
a.
Specifications and drawings for construction of
all projects will reflect the provisions of the
Land - Altering Ordinance and associated standards
whose intent is to control erosion and impacts
from erosion.
What types of emissions to the air would result
from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile odors,
industrial wood smoke) during construction and
when the project is completed? If any, generally
describe and give approximate quantities if
known.
Construction exhausts and dusts are likely to be
negligible and to the extent that transportation
projects enhance the flows of traffic the impacts
of motorists' emissions will be reduced. All
facility improvements will be designed to upgrade
heating systems and reduce emission levels.
b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or
odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
c.
No
Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions
or other impacts to air, if any:
Construction with heavy equipment will be
minimized to the extent necessary to complete the
job. Current oil -fired heating in any facilities
will be upgraded to high efficiency natural gas
furnaces.
• •

3. Water
a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the
Immediate vicinity of the site (including
your -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 principal water body in the City is the
Green /Duwamish River (5 -10K cfs). There
are also several small streams and creeks
which flow to this body such as: Gilliam
Creek, Southgate Creek, and numerous un-
named smaller seasonal and year -round
channels as well as a wide variety of
wetland areas and two major ponds.
Specific impacts to any of these surface
water components will be evaluated through
checklists submitted in accordance with
SEPA for each construction project.
2) Will the project require any work over, in,
on, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) of the
described waters? If yes, please describe
and attach available plans.
There are numerous projects which will
occur near, over, or in watercourses:
Arterial Streets- 2, 14, 17, 28, 41, 55;
Parks (301 Fund)- 6, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16,
21, 24; and, Surface Water- 1, 2, 3, 7, 10,
12, 14.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge
material that would be placed in or removed
from surface water or wetlands and indicate
the area of the site that would be
affected. Indicate the source of fill
material.
This element will be assessed on a case -by-
case basis through expanded SEPA
checklists.
4) Will the proposal require surface water
withdrawals or diversions? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate
quantities, if known.
Several projects involve surface water
system improvements, including temporary
diversions. These will receive specific
attention in the SEPA checklist for each
project. Most surface water projects are
also addressed in the comprehensive surface
water plan.
• •
-6-
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100 -year
floodplain? If so, note location on the
site plan.
A number of the projects may be in the 100 -
year floodplain, however, the actual
finished elevations are not known at this
time. Improvements that are in the
floodplain will include floodproofing
design components.
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:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will
water be discharged to ground water? Give
general description, purpose, and
approximate quantities, if known.
No
2) Describe waste materials 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):
1) 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.
The Surface Water element of the C.I.P.
includes storm water system components to
deal with runoff from improved surfaces as
well as accommodation of upstream flows
generated by impervious surfaces. Pipes,
ditches, swales and natural water courses
will all be utilized as design components
to convey surface water to the
Green /Duwamish River.
• •
-7-
Could waste materials enter ground or
surface waters? If so, generally describe.
Yes. Any of the major construction
projects in the C.I.P. present some risk of
this type of impact, however, construction
timing and strict controls during
construction are observed to prevent such
occurrences. This issue will be addressed
in more detail through specific project
assessments conducted through individual
project SEPA checklists.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface,
ground, and runoff water impacts,if any:
The City is currently working to adopt the Land -
Altering and Surface Water Management Ordinances.
Both of these ordinances address the mitigation
of impacts to surface and ground water systems.
The standards likely to be adopted in conjunction
with these ordinances are already being utilized
in project designs. Specific project impacts
will be assessed on a case -by -case basis through
SEPA checklists.

watercourses
b. List any threatened or endangered species known to
be on or near the site.
None known.
c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so,
explain.
Yes. Waterfowl utilize wetlands and the Green
River in the City as part of their migratory
path. Also, fish migrate through the City up the
Green River.
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance
wildlife, if any:
Projects are assessed individually with SEPA
checklists to determine the least impact
alternatives. In addition, the City is currently
working to adopt a sensitive areas ordinance

6. Energy and Natural Resources
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil,
wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the
completed project's energy needs? Describe
whether it will be used for heating,
manufacturing, etc.
Completed recreation facilities and buildings
will utilize some electricity and natural gas for
lighting and heat. Petroleum based products will
be used as construction material in many
transportation projects as well as to operate
construction equipment but these are one -time
uses and do not represent an ongoing demand.
b. Would your project affect the potential use of
solar energy by adjacent properties? If so,
generally describe.

utilized for construction of improvements.
7. Environmental Health
a.
Are there any environmental health hazards,
including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of
fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste,
that could occur as a result of this proposal? If
so, describe.
There is a possibility that some construction
supplies will contain hazardous materials or
represent a potential environmental health
hazard. Thus there is some threat of potential
spills, fires, and explosions during construction
activities. The likely degree of such threat
will be assessed on a case -by -case basis for each
project.

term basis during daytime hours. In
addition some noise can be expected from
crowds or participants at constructed
recreation facilities.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control
noise impacts, if any:
Construction will be restricted to daytime
hours unless safety or other factors
require work at night. Traffic noise will
be mitigated where possible with roadside
vegetation. Recreation projects will be
located to minimize impacts and will
include buffer areas to screen excessive
noise.
8. Land and Shoreline Use

D. SUPPLEME=NTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(do not use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to
read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the
environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the
proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the
proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at
a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented.
Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge
to water; emissions to air; production, storage,or
release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production
of noise?
Increased road surface areas will likely generate
increased surface water runoff to the Green River for
projects involving street widening. Increased vehicular
traffic flows will likely increase emissions but this
may be a net decrease when compared with emissions
generated in areas currently suffering from heavy
congestion. There is likely to be no impact from
improvements planned in this document in terms of toxic
substances or noise.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Use of swales and stormwater collection facilities will
aid in dealing with runoff. Improvements are designed
to increase traffic flows, thus allowing for more
efficient burning of petroleum fuels.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants,
animals, fish, or marine life?
Generally effects to flora and fauna will be minimal. In
a few areas where direct contact with watercourses
occurs, impacts may be greater and will have to be
assessed through further environmental review.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants,
animals, fish, or marine life are:
Restricting clearing of vegetation to only that area
necessary to complete improvements. Also, all
improvements will be designed and constructed in
accordance with sensitive area ordinance standards as
well as mitigating measures prescribed in the land -
altering, stormwater management, and tree preservation
ordinances.

3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or
natural resources?
The construction of specific projects will utilize some
fossil fuels and products but the effects in terms of
depletion are negligible.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and
natural resources are:
Environmentally conscious and energy efficient design
and construction under the constraints of City codes and
State or federal regulations.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect
environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or
eligible or under study) for governmental protection;
such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers,
threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime
farmlands?
The effects of the proposal in the areas listed above is
negligible when considered in total.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid
or reduce impacts are:
As stewards of these resources the City of Tukwila
promotes and observes policies developed specifically to
preserve and protect these resources. In addition, the
City solicits public input on improvement proposals and
enlists the cooperation of state and federal regulatory
agencies at the design stages.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and
shoreline use, including whether it would allow or
encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with
existing plans?
In that some specific projects occur along the Green
River, provisions have been made to enhance access and
in some places extend existing waterfront trail systems.

Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land
use impacts are:
Adherence at the project level to vegetative buffer
requirements and /or prohibition of work in especially
sensitive areas. Each project will be assessed for such
potential impacts through the SEPA process.
How does the proposal conform to the Tukwila Shoreline
