DECLARATION OF NO SIGNIFICANT
ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT
for
Hertz Truck Rental Development
I. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The development is proposed to be located on approx-
imately 1.75 acres along the east side of 48th Avenue
South in Tukwila and approximately 250 feet from the
Duwamish River. The site is bounded on the east by
the west right -of -way line of Interstate 5. The
topography of the site gently slopes toward 48th
Avenue South and the Duwamish River. It is basically
devoid of visible vegetation with the exception of the
following significant trees:
6 " -12" Cherry ;(9)
8 " -12" Cedar (4)
4 " -10" Birch (4)
12" Chestnut (1)
12 " Walnut (2)
The south half of the site was, at one time, utilized
as .a nursery for plant material, explaining the
existence of the aforementioned significant trees.
The northern half of the site has been used as a
repository for various types of fill from broken
asphalt to chunks of concrete and soil.
The site is zoned M -1 (Light Industry) and is served
by 48th Avenue South, a 50 foot right -of -way. Sanitary
and storm sewer systems are within the 48th Avenue
right -of -way. However, the closest water system is
approximately 1400 feet south of the south property line.
The proposed action would establish a truck rental
facility. This facility would include a metal walled,
metal roofed structure (butler building) approximately
6400 square feet (plus expansion room for an additional
4000 square feet). The building will provide an
operation office and restroom facilities, and will
include preventive maintenance facilities such as a
wash room for the vehicles. The remainder of the site
will be paved to allow parking-for a maximum storage
capacity of 39 vehicles. A chain -link fence will
surround the entire property. Eleven customer parking
spaces will be provided at the north end of the site,
while six spaces will be provided at the south end of
the proposed building for employees.. Landscaping will
be installed along the entire property line fronting
48th Avenue with the exception of driveways.
Water utilized by the wash rack facility,mustbe
diverted through sandand.oil separators before
entering the sanitary sewer system and must be approved
by METRO.
II. PURPOSE
The proposed development is intended to serve the public
with a truck rental program. The functions of, such a
project will include, but not be limited to, rental.
of Hertz trucks, as support functions, preventive
maintenance and fueling and storage of trucking
equipment. Hours of the operation are planned to be:
Office 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Shop and Maintenance 7 a.m. -
11 p.m.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED ACTION
No significant adverse environmental effects will be
observed as a result of the proposed action. What little
existing biological species inhabiting the . site will be
displaced through the removal of the existing vegetation.
Removal of the existing vegetation will not be signif-
icantly detrimental to the environment as only a
handful of existing trees are of significant character.
These . trees have no effect on water quality because they
are located much too far from the river to provide any
degree of shading. Water quality of the Duwamish River
will not be significantly affected if the proper sand
and oil interceptor system is employed with the
exception of a measurable increase in the amount and
temperature of storm water runoff. However, these
impacts are not considered to be of significance. Air
quality will be affected due to the increase in
emissions identifiable as those from internal combustible
engines. However, this impact is not considered to be
significant in light of the existing Time -DC truck
terminal located immediately across 48th Avenue South..
Traffic patterns and noise levels will not be measurably affected. The visual environment will be somewhat
affected, however it is not considered to be of signif-
icance.
3
IV. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION
A proposal to utilize the property is considered
reasonable due to the economics involved. A do- nothing
alternative would be burdensome on the property owner
in light of the industrial zoning and related property
taxes.
Consideration must be given to some alternatives in
implementing the proposed development. Utilizing the
existing significant trees by moving them to a feasible
landscape area would further reduce the displacement
of existing biological species. This action also
would, if the trees were placed along the north property
line, diminish the affect on the visual environment.
Further, the chain -link fence could be of a decorative
nature so as not to detract from the character of the
required landscaping.
LONG -TERM PRODUCTIVITY AND IRREVERSIBLE RESOURCE
COMMITTMENTS
The proposed development is considered to be of
relatively short -term productivity in comparison with
most other industrial developments in the vicinity.
Irreversible resource committments are confined to the
land occupied by the development which, although
irreversible in the short -run., may be reversible in
the long -term.

The northeast end, or approximately 1 of the property, has been used as a
repository for various types of fill from broken asphalt to chunks of concrete
and soil. The southern 1.1 was, at one time, a nursery for plant material. Access
to the site is from 48th Avenue South. The property is far enough removed from
the Duwamish River to be excluded from any controls expressed by Shoreline
Management of 1971, (RCW 90.58).
EXISTING ZONE: The site is zoned M -1, City of Tukwila, which allows Light
Industry. There is no zone change proposed as it was felt, in conversation
with City officials; the existing zone would adequately cover the proposed.
facility.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and storm sewer are.in 48th Avenue South, the closest
water is from the. intersection of 48th Avenue South and Interurban Avenue,
approximately 1400 ± south of the south property line. Electric power .is availa-
ble across, 48th Avenue South. Based on a ten year storm pattern, the surface
water runoff from the site is 0.321 c.f.s. After development, 'the runoff will
be approximately 2.68 ± c.f.s., based on the same 10 year storm period. All
— utilities are of sufficient size to carry the imposed load.
TRAFFIC: Heavy duty truck traffic is presently utilizing the improved section
of 48th Avenue South to serve the Time -D.C. Freight Office directly across the street.
PROPOSED ACTION: To establish a Truck Rental Facility on 1.75 acres ± located
on 48th Avenue South, City of Tukwila. The facility will include one metal walled,
metal roofed structure, approximately 6400 . square feet (plus a future 4000 sq. ft.
addition). This will include facilities for preventive maintenance on the
rental vehicles, an operations office, and restroom facilities. .The color of the
building will be earth tones, such as brown and related colors.
THE MURRAY- McCORMICK ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP
The remainder of the site will be allocated to parking for the storage of the
units. Maximum storage space will allow for 39± rental units.,
SITE IMPROVEMENTS: A chain -link fence will surround the entire site. Room for
customer parking'will be provided on the northwest corner of the site and will
contain 11 spaces. Employee parking will be on. the south side of the building
and 6 spaces are provided. The'placement,of the building will adhere to the
correct setback as specified in the zoning code. Sufficient "screening" type
landscaping will be placed along the entire property line fronting 48th Avenue
.South with the exception of the driveways, and a.50' setback for the above
mentioned-parking lot. (Please refer to the enclosed site plan).
.WATER QUALITY: Water utilized by the wash rack facility will be diverted by a
separator. The contaminated water would go to the sanitary sewer with the
remainder going to the storm sewer. Suspended particulates would be. deposited
. in the trap.
AIR QUALITY: No monitoring station within adequate areas to identify exactly.
It can be expected that any increase in vehicular movement will bring about
corresponding . increase in emmissions identifiable as those resulting from
internal combustion engines.
SUMMARY: The proposed'development is intended .to serve the public with a truck
rental program. The functions of such a project will include, but not be limit-
ed to, rental of Hertz trucks, as support functions, preventive maintenance,
fueling and storage of trucking equipment. The planned hours of operation will
be: Office 7 :00 a.m.. to 5:30 p.m., shop and maintenance'7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
