Moss, Planning Coordinator City of Tukwila Planning Department 14475 -59th Avenue South Tukwila, Washington 98067 Dear Mr. Moss: We have reviewed the draft environmental impact statement entitled "Completion of Development, Andover Industrial Park, Andover East" which was transmitted to us by your letter of 10 May 1973 and have the following comment. The statement on page 3 (last two sentences of third complete paragraph) that the existing Green River channel capacity could be exceeded by Howard Hanson Dam releases combined with discharge from pumping plants during extreme flood conditions should be reviewed in light of an agreement the Seattle District has with King County. The Seattle District will advise the Lake Youngs office of the King County Division of Hydraulics as to the time at which flow in the Green River is expected to reach 9,000 second -feet at Auburn. The Division of Hydraulics has agreed to be responsible, until the flow falls below 9,000. second -feet, for monitoring river conditions and for terminating operation of the pumping plant before pumped water encroaches on the safe carrying capacity of the river channel and levees. The Soil Conservation Service has been informed of this agreement so that their report, which you reference, can be revised. We appreciate the opportunity to review this draft.

Moss Planning Coordinator City of Tukwila 14475 59th Avenue South Tukwila, Washington 98067 Dear Mr. Moss: We have reviewed the draft environmental impact statement for the proposed Andover Industrial Park, located in the City of Tukwila. The draft statement describes the adverse impacts that will occur as a result of this proposed project. The Environmental Protection Agency, Region X can foresee no major impacts other than those stated. We agree that the area was committed to this use long ago and that many adverse impacts have already occurred as a result of the Southcenter Shopping Mall. We recommend that the City of Tukwila take all feasible measures to reduce those impacts associated with this proposal and that they coordinate their activities with the Washington State Department of Fisheries.

Moss Planning Coordinator City of Tukwila 14475 - 59th Avenue South Tukwila, Washington 98067 Dear Mr. Moss: IN REPLY REFER TO 10-00.15 Your May 10, 1973 letter provided the Federal Highway Administration with a copy of the draft environmental statement for the City of Tukwila project for completion of the development of Andover Industrial Park East. We are pleased to respond to your request for review comments. Our review indicated a very limited and inadequate description of the effects on transportation facilities in the vicinity of the Industrial Park was contained in this draft environmental statement. Therefore, we suggest the final statement include a description of the resultant effects on Interstate Routes 1 -05 and 1 -405. Such discussion should indicate the effects upon completion of your proposal and also the effects anticipated on transportation facilities when the industrial park is fully occupied and operative. On pages 7 -8, Figure A -2 indicates Site and Building Requirements Comparison between Andover Industrial Park Covenants and City of Tukwila Zoning Ordinance. It is suggested the final statement include a discussion of the off - street parking requirement per site. Also, there should be a statement to the effect that the design of access (driveways, etc.) and internal off - street loading and parking design will be such as to minimize interference with street or highway traffic. Pages 29 and 36 of the draft environmental statement refer briefly to the highway traffic circulation system. Specifically, this dis- cussion should be expanded to include what impact the industrial park will have on traffic demand for both 1-05 and 1 -405. You may wish to discuss with the Washington Department of Highways whether the traffic projections used for the design of 1 -05 and 1 -405 considered the traffic to be generated by this industrial park development. -more- • • Mr. Delbert F.

Our review has been confined to air pollution aspects only, including air monitoring, and questions related to complex sources of air pollution. There is a discrepancy between Agency sulfation statistics and those reported in the document. Sulfur trioxide averages were 4.3 gm /cm2 /day at the Municipal Building in Renton and 6.7 pgm /cm2 /day at 25 South Hanford Street in Seattle for the month of March, 1973. This was reported on page 24 as 6 -7 ,ugm/ cm /day for Andover East and 4.3 pgm /cm /day for the Seattle area averages. Your conclusion that the project will have no adverse effect on the environment which you stated in your letter of transmittail. is not corroborated by the text of the impact statement, at least with respect to air pollution. To show that no significant adverse effect will be made on the environment, it may be necessary to expand comments on the nature of this proposed complex source. A complex source of air pollution is defined in federal documents as a source of air pollution which increases as a result of increased associated activity such as traffic volume. Items of particular importance here are the annual parking and transportation volumes at the nearby Southcenter, the expected increase in residential dwellings and industrial activity, and the effect of limiting traffic speeds in the area. Southcenter itself is a complex source of air pollution because of the increased BOARD OF DIRECTORS CHAIRMAN: Gene Lobe, Commissioner Kitsap County; VICE CHAIRMAN: Robert C.

Residential and industrial fuel combustion and their associated air pollutant discharges would increase with increased numbers of dwellings and industrial firms. On page 38 it was stated that lower traffic speeds would "aid in diminishing air pollution from traffic," whereas just the opposite might be the case. (Refer to the Environmental Protection Agency's Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, February 1972, pages 3 -1 through 3-6.) It appears that there is a discontinuity in the text in going from page 37 to page 38. These basic comments comprise our review. In addition we would recommend that adequate water spray and other controls be used on the land filling operations mentioned on page 35.

Topographic /Geologic Impact - The earthwork operation, begun over a decade ago as the essential first step to land development in this area, will cover the few remaining vestiges of the original alluvial flood plain. This earth- work program is being undertaken in a manner consistent with sound soils engineering practice. b. Biological Impact - The major biological impact in this area occurred sometime ago when the decision was made to establish the commercial /industrial complex at Southcenter. The earthwork operation will cover all remaining grasslands formerly in agricultural use, in past years, and will fill the few existing evanescent ponds resulting in some displacement of migratory bird populations. c. Atmospheric Impact - A temporary increase in suspended particulates concentrations will occur with earthwork and other construction operations. Increased traffic flows resulting from expanded commercial /industrial activities will increase the concentrations of all common air pollutants and will increase noise levels. d. Surface Drainage /River System Impact - Increased impervious surfaces will increase storm runoff quantities, contributing only in small part to the overall drainage problems associated with the Green River System. Water quality will be in- fluenced by particulate matter and hydrocarbons washed from paved surfaces by storm runoff. e. Change in Human Use - The continuation of commercial/ industrial development that will result from the proposed action represents no change in the predominant human use other than to expand it onto land that has long lain dormant.

Type of Action The City of Tukwila will perform administrative and legislative action in the review of proposals and the granting of permits, for the completion of allowable commercial and in- dustrial development at Andover Industrial Park and Andover East which will hereinafter be referred to as the subject area. All review and permit procedures are prescribed by Tukwila City Ordinances and have been codified within the Tukwila Municipal Code. This Environmental Impact Statement is intended to describe the anticipated effects upon environmental quality resulting from each incremental phase of development within the subject area until ultimate development is achieved as allowed by the applicable sections of the Tukwila Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (ORD. 251 S1.1, 1957). 2. Justification for the Proposed Action The proposed action is the lawful implementation of previously determined City of Tukwila policies as embodied within official plans, ordinances and resolutions. 3. Location (Refer to Location Map, Figure A -1) The subject area lies wholly within the Tukwila City limits and portions of Sections 23, 24, 25 and 26, TWP.23N, Range 4E,W.M. Andover Industrial Park is bounded by Tukwila Parkway on the north, James Christiansen Road and the Green River levee maintenance easement on the east, a line approxi- mately 700 feet south of the Minkler Blvd. centerline on the south, and Andover Park West on the west. Andover East is bounded by the Green River on the west, the West Valley Highway on the east, and bisected by the Strander Blvd. extension. Undeveloped or partially developed portions of the subject area are Andover East and those parcels within Andover Industrial Park designated as 2,E,M1,M3,M4,X,Y, & 6S on Fig. A -1. 4. Historical Background a. Land Use -1- The subject area lies within the northern Green River Valley. Farming began in the Nineteenth Century with dairying as the predominant land use in the valley. Truck farming was also carried on, but high water table and poor drainage minimized this use. Much of the land in and about the subject area remained as undeveloped marshland up to the relatively recent rapid industrial growth. This industrial growth was stimulated by a number of factors, but one of the most important is the proximity of transportation systems which have historically been routed through the Green River Valley. Geography sets severe constraints on where transportation routes can be built in the Puget Sound Region. Seattle responded to the early predominance of Tacoma as the major rail- road terminus on Puget Sound with the building of the Seattle & Spokane Railroad Line which later became part of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad's main line up through the Duwamish, and the lower Green and Maple Valleys. Eventually, other railroads, i.e. the Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, and Great Northern, followed nearly parallel routes. These railroads were supplemented by a system of highways constructed in the first quarter of this century. The move toward industrial development in the valley began early in the 1950's. Planners for the Port of Seattle suggested an ambitious scheme to turn the Duwamish and Green River Valleys into a large indus- trial complex complete with a shipping canal to service the area. Tukwila citizens countered this proposal by incorporating large land areas into the City and imposing their own industrial zoning on the land. This zoning in the valley, plus high increases in residential and commercial development on the adjacent hillsides, and the subsequent building of the freeway system (again to some extent dictated by geographic and topographic features) all contributed to the present rush of industrial and commercial development that is not expected to abate for several more years.

Flood Control Prior to 1900 the White River, and its tributaries, the Green and Black rivers, flowed northward through, and frequently across, the valley floor. The Black River was the outlet for Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, and the Cedar River basin. In 1906 the White River changed course during a flood and was -2- thereafter permanently diverted into the Stuck and Puyallup rivers. Construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal in 1916 resulted in the lowering of Lake Washington, permitting the Cedar River to be turned north into the lake and shutting off flow through the Black River. With flow through the valley thus drastically reduced, use of the valley floor for farming became more feasible. Farm owners, individually and by districts, constructed low dikes along the Green River, which, while not effective against major winter floods, did permit the land to be worked earlier in the spring and later in the fall. In 1962 Howard A. Hanson Dam was constructed about 30 miles upriver from Auburn. The Eagle Gorge site was the best available for storage and was utilized to its maximum practicable capacity. Major floodflows were reduced to the maximum capacity of the river channel with its existing dikes, less than 12,000 second -feet at Auburn. By way of comparison, a natural flow of 24,000 second -feet occurred in 1933. During the 1960's, the Soil Conservation Service, in conjunction with the Green River Flood Control Zone District (administered by King County), completed planning for a valley drainage system comprised of land treatment measures selected to preserve favorable hydrologic conditions on the uplands,and a network of channels and large capacity pumping plants. During storm periods interior valley drainage will be pumped into the Green River at several locations. The main pumping plant at the mouth of the Black River, was completed in 1972. In the near future, as the drainage discharge from this and other pumping plants adds to the controlled flood release from Hanson Dam, the existing river channel capacity could be exceeded during extreme flood conditions with simultaneous abnormal valley storm runoff. This was recognized in the Soil Conservation report on the drainage system. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was authorized by Congress to initiate a flood control study of the Green - Duwamish River in 1960. In 1966, with the cooperation of King County, the study was revised to include investigation of the possibility of reducing flows as controlled by Hanson Dam and increasing channel capacity from Auburn to the Duwamish turning basin to accommodate increased flows resulting from the SCS Project. Study funding terminated in 1968, but resumed in July 1970. The Corps has investigated -3- alternative flood control measures and integration of these with enhanced opportunity for recreation. Further action awaits on a King County investigation of the potential influence of flood control implemen- tation upon land use patterns in the valley.

Commercial /Industrial Development During the mid 1950's a group of investors, among them Allied Stores, the Union Pacific Railroad, and others, began to see the advantage of the expansion of Tukwila's jurisdiction to the Green River Flood Plain. They be- gan to purchase many individually owned parcels that they recognized as being potentially suitable for commercial /industrial development. Tukwila City policy at that time was sympathetic to these efforts, and cooperation between City Government and the investors led to the joint planning of a shopping center and surrounding industrial park complex. The Development Master Plan for Southcenter and Andover Park was completed in 1958 and subsequently approved by the City. Groundbreaking for the General Electric Company's building on July 25, 1961, initiated construction of the first industry in the first such industrial development in the valley. Completion of the Howard A. Hanson Dam at this same time and later initiation of the SCS Drainage Project further accommodated industrialization of the valley. 5. Public Participation The proposed action, being the administrative review of development projects within the subject area, requires provision for public meetings. As an example, the issuance of a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit must be preceded by a public hearing. Each such public hearing is publicized in advance as prescribed by State Law. Since the subject area is contiguous to the Green River, Shoreline Permits will have to be issued for any development adjacent to the river. The proposed action implements adopted City Policies as embodied primarily in Council Resolutions, The Compre- hensive Plan, The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the Municiple Code. Each of these has been subjected to public review during the normal course of adoption. Tukwila is unique for cities in the region in that a great many citizens attend nearly every public hearing where full advantage is taken to express views. Generally, local newspaper coverage of these hearings is extensive. -4- Public participation has been an important part of the decision making and policy adoption by other agencies having jurisdiction for planning and implementation of policies influencing development in the Green River valley. As an example, the Corps of Engineers has conducted a series of public hearings in conjunction with their inves- tigations of alternative flood control measures for the Green - Duwamish River described above. The Puget Sound Governmental Conference, the regional planning agency, has invited citizen input in the formulation of the Interim Regional Development Plan. 6. Proposed Method of Financing and Financial Sponsors The proposed action, as a series of administrative decisions, requires no special funding outside of that normally required to support City Governmental Adminis- trative Processes. All commercial /industrial development within the subject area occurring as a consequence of the proposed action will be financed from private resources. 7. Relationship with Existing Laws, Policies, Plans a. City Laws: City Ordinances prescribe that the following permits be issued and the following review procedures be undertaken with regard to any proposed land development: (1) Permits: a) Shoreline Management Permits (where applicable) b) Building Permits (ORD. 578, S.1, 1969; ORD 678 (part), 1971) c) Sewer and Water Permits (ORD. 264, S.2, 1958; ORD. 342, 1961) d) Permits to power, natural gas, and telephone utilities for use of City rights -of -way ORD. 486, S.3 (A), 1967) (2) Reviews: a) Review of State Department of Ecology Flood Zone Permits by Public Works Director. b) Review of storm drainage system discharge by Public Works Director. c) Review of plans, site plans, elevations, and landscaping plans by Board of Architectual Review at a public meeting (ORD. 635, ORD. 251). d) Review of curb cut locations by Planning Commission at a public meeting. -5- Andover Park meets and in fact exceeds the requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance. It is located within CM Zone (planned industrial zoning district) and all exist- ing and future building is subject to the controls of that district. In addition, all industrial tenants and owners of land within the park are subject to additional controls within the covenants of the sale or lease agreement. As shown in the following chart, Fig. A -2, these covenants are generally more restrictive than the City's zoning requirements,in order to main- tain high standards of planning and design in such things as density, landscaping and open- space, architectural design, and traffic circulation features. The complete Andover Industrial Park Protective Covenants are included in Appendix A. b. Other Laws: State Law (RCW 86.16) establishes flood control zones throughout the state. One such zone governs the Green River flood plain and development projects within this zone must be issued a Flood Zone Permit by the State Department of Ecology. The King County Department of Public Works, Division of Hydraulics has traditionally reviewed applications for Flood Zone Permits in King County on behalf of the Department of Ecology. With regard to the subject area, all development within Andover Industrial Park south of the railroad is guided by a City of Tukwila Comprehensive Drainage Plan (see map, Fig. A -3) which has been accepted by the Department of Ecology. A blanket Flood Zone Permit has been issued which allows all development to proceed without the need to obtain individual permits, as long as such development conforms to the Comprehensive Drainage Plan. All other development within the subject area must be covered by individual Flood Zone Permits. -6- — — FIGURE A - 2 SITE AND BUILDING REQUIREMENTS COMPARISON ANDOVER INDUSTRIAL PARK COVENANTS Landscaping & Screening Building Coverage Building Setback Architectural Controls Off - Street Loading Space Minimum of 25% of lot area between street and setback line and 100% of the 10 feet nearest the street shall be landscaped.

FIGURE A • 3 b. Other Laws: (continued) Department of Ecology policy for development within the flood control zone, which is not guided by a comprehensive drainage plan, is to require all buildings to be protected from a 50 year flood, the height of which maybe determined from Corps of Engineer's data. c. Policies and Plans: Commercial /industrial development which will occur as a result of the proposed action will be consistent with local and regional laws, policies, and plans. The City of Tukwila has clearly assumed the ultimate completion of Andover Park as a keystone of its future economic and land use planning. The Tukwila Compre- hensive Plan states: "Southcenter, the regional shopping center, and Andover Industrial Park will soon form the dominant commercial and industrial base for the City of Tukwila. They will spark additional commercial, industrial and residential development." (underline added) Economic Base: Tukwila is part of the Seattle Metropolitan Area and its growth is predicated on the continual growth and prosperity of the larger region. Southcenter will draw upon a wide area for its retail market, thus making Tukwila once again a trading center. Andover Industrial Park is appealing to well diversi- fied industries serving the regional market. For the Comprehensive Plan's recommended industrial area, which includes Andover Park, the following rationale is provided: Industrial: Flat lowlands about the river are planned for industry. While filling is unusually heavy to develop these sites, large, valuable, flat industrial sites can be created. It has been estimated that the entire Andover area will be developed within 10 years. Other areas may take longer, and in the northern part of the City it is planned to straighten the river in order to improve sites, increase the amount of usable land, control flooding and provide fill material if suitable. Commercial /industrial development within the subject area is also consistent with current regional plans. The Puget Sound Governmental Conference has confirmed that the subject area lies within the area proposed for industrial development by the conference's Interim Regional Development Plan (IRDP). The following exerpts from the IRDP show clearly the conference's adopted policy to encourage future regional development within existing and committed regional centers, located near regional transporta- tion routes and where utilities and public improve- ments already exist. Regional benefits of this policy include preserving regional open -space resources, eliminating unnecessary expenditures for public facilities and improvements, and reducing the amount of time spent in home to work commuting trips: "New employment activities will locate in the committed employment center of the central cities and nearby suburbs. New outlying employment centers will not be committed during the interim period." "The central major city in each of the four counties will remain as the dominant business center. Beyond these four central cities, smaller existing or committed major business centers are spaced at three -to -four mile intervals along the existing or committed regional transportation system. These centers are surrounded by urban clusters of intensive employment and housing ..." Land Use Policies (a) Establish an ecologically based planning system. (b) Conserve critical natural processes and resources. (c) Focus development in existing utility and service areas. (d) Encourage identifiable, self - sufficient communities. 8. Actions /Decisions Remaining for Implementation The proposed action will result in incremental completion of commercial /industrial development within the subject area. Primary to any such development will be continuation of the earth fill program which has been on -going within the subject area since 1958. The remaining earth work to be done in Andover Industrial Park and Andover East is indicated on the map, Figure A -4. The solid arrows show the volume (in cubic yards) of import fill material that will be required on each remaining site to be filled. The dashed arrows show the volume of surcharge and fill material that will be relocated or moved from one site to another within the bounds of Andover Industrial Park. On each arrow the volume amount is accompanied by the letter "S" or -the letter "T ". The "S" stands for the earthwork to be relocated by scraper. The scrapers will not travel on the street system except to cross at those points where indicated by the dashed arrows. The "T" stands for the earthwork that will be accomplished by truck haul. In most cases the truck hauling will be accomplished by 5 -axle semi - trailer trucks hauling approximately 16 to 18 cubic yards per load. The table below indicates the time period in which the earthwork will be accomplished both for the import material and the earthwork relocation within the overall site. The years covered are 1973, 1974, and 1975. EARTHWORK SCHEDULE IMPORT TO PARCEL (CU. YDS.)

The routes over which the traffic will be generated are constructed to City of Tukwila standards for industrial streets or are state highways. Filling within Andover Industrial Park will be to elevation 22.0 which is the nominal elevation for the street and railroad system in the area. This will occur within the majority of the remaining unfilled property on the west side of the Green River north of 180th. The drainage systems (Fig. A -2) which exist and /or the portions yet to be built conform to a master plan prepared by the City of Tukwila, the Soil Conservation Service, and the Green River Flood Control Zone District based upon ultimate development of the area as industrial sites. The remaining undeveloped 84 acres within Andover Park will be developed in accordance with the City's CM Zoning Classification and the Development Standards cited in the Protective Covenants (Appendix A). All undeveloped parcels except Y have been purchased or are under option for specific usage. Eight and one half acres of this committed land will be devoted to business center type development, very similar to the Don Koll Business Center now nearing completion. 31% of the total land area within the business center will be covered by buildings and parking for thirty -seven cars per acre will be provided. The remainder of the committed undeveloped land will be devoted to distribution type facilities which are the dominant existing land use type within Andover Industrial Park. Distribution buildings will cover roughly 50% of each site and parking for roughly 22 cars per acre will be provided. Andover East will be developed in accordance with the City's M1 Zoning Classification. The anticipated use of this site will be for commercial facilities. All future development will adhere strictly to development controls imposed by covenant, City Ordinance, and rulings of the Architectural Review Board. -12- B. Existing Conditions 1. Natural Setting a. Area Directly involved (Subject Area) The area involved and primarily influenced by land development that will result as a consequence of the proposed action is the 84 undeveloped acres of the 300 acre Andover Industrial Park and the 8.7 total acres of Andover East. Secondary influence and involvement will occur with respect to the total. Southcenter Commercial - Industrial Complex, the Green - Duwamish River, Interstate Freeways 5 and 405, the West Valley Highway, Southcenter Parkway, the Milwaukee Road and Union Pacific Railroads and other elements of the Tukwila Industrial area physical environment, land use patterns, and infrastructure. b. Geomorphology and Topography Andover Park is situated on a mature flood plain south of the historic confluence of the Green and Black Rivers which, prior to alternation by man, joined to become the Duwamish River. Locally the broad flat - floored valley is delimited by the Tukwila and Riverton Heights uplands on the north and west as well as the Renton Highlands area on the east. Relief on the flood plain in the subject area proper approximates five feet (between elevations + 15 and + 20). Area relief is 400.- 600 feet. Historically the Green River changed its meander pattern within natural fluvial hydrologic bounds. Aerial photographs and maps reveal old point -bar sand deposits, natural levees, meanders, and oxbow lakes (cut -off meanders) in the now largely artificially regraded flood plain. Besides extensive and ongoing filling for industrial development, the natural topography has been altered by construction of levees to supplement the natural river levees for flood control purposes and to confine the river to a specific channel location. Highway cut and fill and railroad embankments are additional alterations. c. Geology (1) Quaternary Geologic History Several periods of glaciation of the Puget lowland produced a complex stratigraphic record. -13- The northern part of the North American continent was covered at least four times in the Pleistocene Epoch by great ice sheets which ultimately reached all the way to Olympia, covering all the hills of the Puget Lowland and the San Juan Islands - and lying high against the flanks of the Olympics and the Cascades. This happened at least three and probably four times, although the record of the older glacial events has been obscured greatly by the most recent glaciation. Consequently, knowledge of the early glacial history of the Lowland is poor. The effects of glaciation on the Puget Lowland were so great that a pre - glacial reconstruction of the topography is quite difficult. It is assumed that the basic distribution of major landforms was as it is today with the Cascades and Olympic Mountains separated by a broad valley not unlike, perhaps, the present Willamette Valley. Drainage was to the north and then west to the ocean via the Strait of Juan de Fuca. As the ice wall moved south across the Gulf Islands and San Juan Islands, the drainage of the Puget Lowland was probably affected very little. An entirely different situation prevailed, however, as soon as the advancing glacier reached the northeast front of the Olympics. At that time, the wall of ice effectively dammed the entire lowland, for little drainage could escape past the ice to reach the ocean. The result, inevitably, was the formation of a lake. The abundant clay - stone cropping out on the canyon walls along the lower Green River drainage has its origin as soft clay in this lake bottom. Eventually, this lake filled the entire lowland between the ice wall, the mountains, and the divide between the Puget Sound and Chehalis River drainage basins. This lake received runoff from the mountains and meltwater from the Puget Lobe. The silt, sand, and gravel sediments exposed in the valley walls along the lower Green River were transported from the Cascades by the glacier and reworked by meltwater streams as the ice advanced and retreated during the last and next to last glaciations. The resulting stratigraphic record is a series of alternating beds of lake clay, outwash detritus, and till (material deposited directly by the glacier). Gravels capping the surrounding hill- tops are the outwash gravel which was later locally re- worked by post - glacial streams. -14- Differential erosion has locally produced a markedly irregular ground surface. The surface was carved out of lake sediments, plus the varied sediments derived from older glacial and interglacial periods, plus preglacial bedrock. Glacial erosion deepened pre- existing river valleys. This produced the Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish basins and deepened Puget Sound off Seattle to as great a depth as 1,000 feet below present sea level. Where the ground was not markedly excavated by the overriding ice, it was shaped. In both the Seattle area and elsewhere in the Puget Lowland, many of the elongate hills parallel to the general direction of ice move- ment (which was for the most part approximately north - south) owe their form to glacial shaping. As the Vashon Ice Sheet melted and receded in late Pleistocene time, the Green River again was able to flow northwesterly into the Puget Sound drainage. The drainage developed a mature flood plain with small youthful tributaries draining the uplands. Some of these smaller watercourses probably began as meltwater streams from the receding ice. Drainage from the ice - sculptured highlands was sluggish and vegetation thrived as evidenced by peat bogs and the relatively low relief topography on the plateaus. The local creeks then began to cut vertically and the present watersheds were defined. These local tributaries subsequently cut over 400 feet through the glacial outwash and till, as well as the underlying pre - Vashon (probably Salmon Springs) drift complex. As post Pleisto- cene sea level continued to rise, the tendency to cut vertically was lessened because the Green/ Duwamish River was aggrading (filling) its valley due to the lessened gradient brought on by sea level rise. (2) Environmental Geology - Soils and Fill Original surface soils where exposed in the subject area are typically the Puyallup silt loam of the Puget Series. This soil occurs principally in the Green River Valley and is associated closely with the Puyallup very fine sandy loam and fine sandy loam. It is developed on a very thick valley fill of recent alluvium. The upper 12 -14 inches of the soil is a slightly acid gray -brown friable silt loam. The upper 30 inches of the subsoil is very slightly acid to neutral and is generally a light or medium -15- grayish brown silt loam interbedded with very fine silt loam. Rust brown mottling is common throughout. Borings indicate that the upper natural soils in the subject area consist generally of strata of soft silty soils and loose sands. Silty soils predominate toward the north, and generally grade slightly firmer and somewhat coarser toward the south. Within approximately the upper 60 feet there is a distinctly increasing predominance of granular soils toward the south and toward the east. This trend coincides with the change in original site grade, which varies between approximately Elevations 12 and 23. A continuous 35 -40 foot thick layer of silty loam and silty clay is present below Elevation -40. Some of the deeper strata are compressible, but are mostly below the level of influence of surface loading. Much of the subject area is covered with fill, the thickness of which appears to run up to about ten feet over the underlying Puget Series soils. The fill now in place consists of a wide mixture of soils ranging from sand to clayey, silty sand and pebbly silty sand. This fill is fairly compact in place, except for minor localized areas generally near the surface which have become wet and softened due to infiltration of surface moisture. d. Terrestrial and Aquatic Biology Existing biological conditions of the subject area have been field inventoried and analysed during the month of January 1973. In addition, a game survey was obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service for the West Green River Watershed in the vicinity of the P -17 Drainage Channel Project. (1) Terrestrial Botany Predominant botanical species of the subject area are listed in the Table, Fig. B -1. An inventory of each specific undeveloped or partially developed parcel within the subject area is summarized as follows (refer to map, Fig. A -1 for parcel locations): Parcel E: There are no trees or shrubs on this sit T e. The parcel is generally covered with grasses and weeds with a small evanescent pond occurring in the southern part. -16- Milwaukee R R Union Pacific R R West Valle N�.hwo O O c 14 `rUK W.I=.

Evanescent water, lying in a N.E. to S.W. depression, is separated from the ephemeral pond in Parcel X by a rail- road fill. A small grove of willow trees is located near this depression in the central section of the site. Andover East This area is occupied by an older homestead. Elderly fruit trees and a small stand of relatively large poplar trees are on the site. (2) Terrestrial Wildlife The subject area lies within the West Green River Watershed, which is part of the Pacific migratory fowl flyway. A general census of waterfowl and other wildlife in the watershed area was conducted on 17 different dates between November 20, 1973 and February 1, 1973. During this period 230 waterfowl, 3 quail, more than a dozen rabbits and 2 pair of weasels were observed. Waterfowl counts are listed in the table, Fig. B -2. These counts were made twice a week. An average of 14 birds per day was counted. An inventory of terrestrial wildlife occurring within the specific undeveloped parcels of the subject area was conducted on January 29, 1973 as listed in the table, Fig. B -3. Wildlife observed on each specific undeveloped parcel is summarized as follows (refer to map, Fig. A -1 for parcel locations): FIGURE B -2 WATERFOWL COUNTS - WEST GREEN RIVER WATERSHED 17 observation dates between Nov. 20, 1972 and Feb. 1, 1973 Ducks (Dabblers) Genus Species Common Name ' Total Counts Anas platyrhynchos Mallard 52 Mareca americana American Widgeon 10 Spatula clypeata Shoveler 12 Anas acuta Pintail 64 Ducks (Divers) Aythya affinis Scaup 17 Bucephala albeola Bufflehead 12 Unidentified 35 Miscellaneous Fulica americana Coot 28 230(14 Av.

The small area covered by blackberries and other plants on the west side of the dike road holds a population of at least three pairs of Song Sparrows. 56 Pintail Ducks were observed in the remaining marshy area and evanescent pond just west of the river levee road and about 300 yards south of the railroad bridge. Also observed were wild Mallards and Lesser Scaup. All birds in this area were actively feeding, bathing or preening which indicates that this small area, though close to buildings and construction activity, was serving as an effective refuge. King County /City of Tukwila Pond: A large flock of Lesser Scaup Ducks, the unusual (for such a restricted body of water) Ruddy and Canvasback Ducks, and the American Coots were all observed in the pond. The ducks and coots were using the pond as a sought -out feeding and resting area although it is probably not suitable for feeding by Pintails and Mallards. Parcel M1: The snipe were seen in the grassy marshy area just east of Andover Park and across the railroad track. Apparently the plants and marshy ground of this old fill area now provide sufficient shelter and food much needed by this mud - probing game bird, a close relative of the Woodcock. With respect to mammals observed in all areas, positive evidence of the presence of moles, meadow mice, and rabbits only was found. Further time for observation and trapping would very likely disclose the presence of whitefooted mice, musk- rats and raccoons, at least. (3) Aquatic Wildlife The Green - Duwamish River supports significant runs of fishes. Although there is some natural spawning in the river, the majority of these fishes are released as fry or fingerlings from the Washington State Department of Fisheries Hatchery located on Soos Creek, a tributary of the river. The principal species are Chinook, Coho and Chum salmon, as well as Steelhead trout. Fish species inhabiting the river in the vicinity of Andover Industrial Park are listed in the table, Fig. B -4. -21- FIGURE B -4 FISH SPECIES OF THE GREEN RIVER VICINITY OF ANDOVER INDUSTRIAL PARK Common Name Genus Species Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Coho Salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch Chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta Cutthroat trout Salmo clarki Steelhead trout Salmo gairdneri Dolly Varden trout Salvelinus malma Prickly sculpin Cottus asper Threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus Longnose dace Rhinichtays cataractae Speckled dace Rhinichthys oculus Mountain whitefish Prosopium williamsoni Starry flounder (juveniles) Prosopium stellatus 28 Feb Feb Mar Mar Apr Oct Nov Nov Nov Nov 5 23 9 23 4 26 5 17 2 16 24 Jan Feb Feb Mar Nov Dec 18 9 25 9 20 5 -23- Entries below give percent of time wind blows from given direction at given speed.

Clean country air is 40 ,ugm/m3 and 80,ugm /m3 is typical of city air. There are no gross point sources of air pollution in the immediate vicinity. The major source in the immediate area is probably from auto traffic on Interstate highways I -5 and I -405 and local traffic, especially in the Southcenter parking areas. The major source for the general area is the South Seattle industrial area. Air pollution from this source would be significant when the wind was from the NW Quadrant which occurs 17% of the time. With the wind from the south and southwest the Tacoma Industrial air pollution is measurable. (3) Noise Typical traffic noise as measured by standard methods is listed below: Heavy traffic at 50 ft.: Heavy traffic at 100 ft.: Light traffic at 100 ft.: -24- 80 -85 db. 77 -82 db. 45 -50 db. The maximum allowable traffic noise in the State of Washington is 85 db. at 100 ft. Doubling the amount of traffic past a given point increases the noise level by 3 db. e. Lakes, Streams, Marine Water and Groundwater (1) Surface Drainage The historic drainage pattern of the valley is one of a mature flood plain whose width is 6 -10 times the width of the meander belt. Numerous cut -offs, oxbow lakes, and point -bar deposits characterize the area. Drainage was canalized locally by agricultural requirements to reduce flooding and remained regionally in essentially a non - man - altered state until the completion of the Howard A. Hanson Dam in 1962. This upstream metering of the Green River and additional engineered drainage improvements has substantially altered the natural drainage pattern and controlled the hydrology. The Green River now approximates 300 -500 c.f.s.low water mean summer time flow and flood flows are controlled to a maximum of less than 12,000 second feet measured at Auburn. Internal drainage patterns within the subject area have been substantially altered by earthwork activities and construction of engineered storm drainage systems. The map, Fig. A -3 indicates existing and proposed drainage systems. South of the railroad spur line between Strander Boulevard and Treck Drive, the drainage system will be built to conform to a Master Plan prepared by the City of Tukwila, the Soil Conservation Service and the Green River Flood Control Zone District. The existing collecting pond near the southeast limits of Andover Industrial Park was constructed by Puget Western, Inc. in 1964 to test the feasibility of developing industrial property on the valley floor through use of a combination of some filling together with a system of storm drain pumping stations, as compared to the previously followed practice of filling land up to the height of the river dikes. The property upon which the pond is situated has been recently acquired by King County & the City of Tukwila. Part of the pond will be incorporated into the P -17 Storm. Drainage Collection & Discharge System which is part of the SCS Public Law 566 West Side Green River Watershed Work Plan. (2) Water Quality Summer represents the most critical biological, physical and chemical stress period in most temperate streams. This is the case with the Green River in the vicinity of the Andover Industrial Park, where the summer time high river temperatures and low flows (average typically between 300 and 500 cfs) result in physiological stress on aquatic organisms. This specific area is rated by the Washington State Department of Ecology as being class A waters, however in their 1969 Information Bulletin on Intrastate Waters, the lower Green River meets only the temperature and pH requirements of class A waters. The data in Appendix A, Water Quality Tables 1 Through 4, were taken from sampling conducted at the Kent 212th Street Bridge upstream from the subject area and at the Renton Junction Bridge below the subject area, during a one month period in the summer of 1972. Sampling at two locations gives a dynamic perspective of existing water quality impact as well as some impression of the river's ability to handle the existing pollution load. Temperature in Class A waters should not exceed 21 °C whereas the stretch of the Green River under study had a upper limit of 20 °C, a minimum temperature of 13.5 -14 °C and an average temperature of 17.5 °C. The relative stability of this water mass is reflected in the small standard deviation values of 1.2 and 1.4 °C. However a temperature increase of 0.8 °C is recorded between the two sample stations and this means that the river is near its thermal capacity. The average dissolved oxygen values exceed the class A standards (8.0 milligrams /liter) for both stations. The upstream station was 0.66 mg /1 higher, of which 0.2 mg /1 might be accounted for in the solubility differential due to the temperature range involved. This still leaves an average depression of 0.4 mg /1 resulting as water passes through this stretch of the river. This is reasonable evidence to support the premise that this stretch of river is loaded slightly beyond its natural biological oxygen demand (BOD) tolerance. While the BOD (listed as variable #7) in Appendix A, Tables 1 & 2, does not seem unreasonably high (1.92 and 2.3 mg /1) the standard deviation near the equivalent of 1/2 the average -26- values suggests a problem may exist. The 24 hour data plot in Appendix'A, Figures 1, 2 & 3 collected during the same time period (see Fig. 3) documents the drastic BOD load fluctuations which apparently exist on both a diurnal and daily basis. The Kjeldal (total) nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen levels are all relatively low and the one sample taken from the City /County pond during February 1973 had a total nitrogen value of 0.796 milligram per liter which would be within one standard deviation based on existing data of the average values above and below its discharge site. The total phosphate, hydrolizable phosphate and the biologically most available orthophosphate are all reasonably low, as is the one sample from the City /County pond which had a hydrolizable phosphate value of 0.147 mg /1. This would indi- cate the system is not presently receiving unusually high nutrient loading and might tolerate additional such loading. However, if this pond is allowed to stabilize or accumulate much organic detritus with adequate light conditions, substantial algal blooms might be anticipated. The plots in figures 2 and 3 of stations 4 and 5 respectively show the blue -green nuisance algae are not the predominate species during summer months but their substantial numbers indicate that this part of the river has adequate nutrients and water conditions to readily become a problem area; any standing pond with similar water composition would, in time, emit an odor and take on an unpleasant appearance from the natural die -off of these algae. The relatively high chlorophyll A levels (variable 8 in Appendix A, Tables 3 & 4) of 5.0 and 4.3 mg /m2 is relatively high for a river system indicating that the river is both biologically viable and sufficiently enriched. The metals copper and lead, Appendix A, Table 5, are not in significant concentrations to be of biological concern although lead concentrations might increase to significant levels with the increased runoff rate from paved vehicular areas. The zinc reported in mg /1 x 10 -1 are detection limits and the mercury which is reported in ug /1 is also well below tolerance limits. Total and fecal coliform do not meet class A waters or even class C waters. This is in part the influence of livestock as well as human activity throughout the lower Green River. 2.

A survey of the existing Andover Industrial Park was conducted during February 1973 using mailed questionnaires. Invaluable assistance in this undertaking was rendered by Mr. Charles 0. Baker, Executive Director of the Tukwila Industrial Council. 75% of the firms surveyed responded and the results have been tabulated on the tables, Figures B -5, B -6 and B -7. The most recent tabulation of statistics for Andover Park prior to the issuance of this survey, occurred in 1970 at which time the following totals were recorded: Employees = 1,134 Building Area = 996,843 Sq. Ft. Employees: Building Area = 1/880 Sq. Ft. Employees: Site Area = 17 Employees /Acre During the period 1968 to 1970, a greater number of service type firms moved into the Industrial Park, raising the employees -to -site area ratio to 19:1 which is probably more nearly the current and expected future condition. This would indicate that the remaining 84 undeveloped acres have an employment potential of 1600 jobs. -29- - - - FIGURE B - 5 DISTRIBUTION FIRMS FIRM NAME DATE OF LAND AREA BLDG AREA AREA OF PRESENT TRUCKS TRUCKS EMPL.

Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action (i) 1. Changes in Natural Characteristics Commercial /industrial development resulting from the proposed action will not have dramatic environmental impact if sound engineering, hydraulic and ecologic principles are adhered to. a. Topographic /Geologic Impact Continued land filling will cover the few ,remaining vestiges of the original alluvial flood plain surface where it occurs within the subject area. The Green River valley had under- gone some minor alteration during previous farming activities, but for the most part, it retained the basic characteristics of a mature flood plain up to the recent period of industrialization. The earthwork operation begun over a decade ago has covered the greater portion of the alluvial soils within the subject area and the completion of development resulting from the proposed action will finalize this operation. The resulting fill layer will raise the total surface elevation of the valley floor and will eliminate topographic variation that was created within the original Green River meander belt. The ongoing earthwork program of filling and surcharging is consistent with good practice to compact the fill and underlying soils prior to construction. b. Impact on Terrestrial & Aquatic Biology In -a biological sense, the major impact on the subject area occurred sometime ago when the decision was made to establish the industrial park and the Southcenter Shopping Center in their present location. Completion of commercial/ industrial development within the subject area will result in the covering of the available grasslands described in Section B.1 of this report. (See Figure B) These areas appear to be relatively artificial in that they are remnants of past agri- cultural activities. The filling of the few evanescent ponds in the subject area will result in some displacement of migratory bird populations. The expected continuation of the present building trends within the subject area precludes any -34- apparent need for protecting the remaining habitat areas in undeveloped tract sites. These sites have already been modified to such an extent by past human activities that they presently bear little re- semblance to the natural environment that was once part of the Green River flood plain. c. Atmospheric Impact The suspended particulates concentration can be expected to temporarily increase markedly during the land filling and construction phase of commercial /industrial expan- sion resulting from the proposed action. Increased traffic flow will increase the concentrations of all common air pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), unburned hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen. d. Impact on Surface Drainage and the River System Expanded commercial /industrial development resulting from the proposed action will markedly increase surface water runoff coefficients and thereby divert more water into the Green River system. More paved surfaces will increase peak flows of surface runoff. North of the railroad tracks, this water will flow directly to the river. South of the tracks, within the Tukwila Comprehensive Drainage Plan area, storm runoff is now directed to the County /City pond and a temporary pumping system. The increase in peak flows will reinforce the need for the proposed pumping plant which is part of the SCS West Side Green River Watershed P -17 project. Most of the cost for installation of the new pump facility will be borne by the SCS Project. Increased volumes of water both flowing directly to the Green River and being pumped into it by the existing and proposed pumping plants, will necessitate raising the river levees. The subject area, however, will contribute only a fraction of the total volume of water which must be accommodated by higher levees. It is only a small portion of the total land area drained by the P -17 System. For purposes of comparison, the P -17 Plant is expected to pump water at a capacity of 225 cfs. The present P -1, Black River Plant, by contrast, is designed to pump at 2,945 cfs. Raising of the levees may be the subject of recommendations by the Corps of Engineers when their current study is complete. Land acquisition for the SCS Project and for any levee improvement project resulting from the Corps study will be the responsibility of Tukwila and other local jurisdictions. Levee maintenance is now and will continue to be the responsibility of King County Division of Hydraulics. -35- There will be an impact on surface water quality as runoff picks up the particulate matter deposited by aerial fallout and surface spills of hydrocarbons and other potential water pollutants. Any direct discharge of these pollutants to the river as now occurs through the existing gravity systems will influence water quality in the river and will have a corresponding influence on the aquatic wildlife. There will be no changes in the river bottom and channel configuration. 2. Changes in Human Use Land use patterns established by the Southcenter Commercial/ Industrial Complex dominate the immediate vicinity of the subject area. The continuation of commercial /industrial development that will result from the proposed action represents no change in this dominant human use other than to expand it onto land that has long lain dormant. This dormant land has resulted from the preclusion of former farming uses by commercial /industrial expansion. Previous policy decisions by the Tukwila City Government initiated this change of use. These policies assign greater value to industrial expansion than the former agricultural uses and they were implemented directly by granting industrial zoning classifications to the area. Indirect policy implementation was achieved by the higher assessed evaluations on the land which resulted from these zoning changes, thus making farming less profitable. The proposed action re- enforces the pattern of human use in the subject area begun in previous years. It will stimulate construction of new industries and businesses. This will lead to more employment, increased tax base, and some increase in the City's population. Impact on human use will occur during the course of construction when earth hauling equipment will add to automobile traffic congestion in the subject area. Ultimate development, when complete, will increase loading on the traffic circulation system and other elements of the infrastructure, but this loading has been anticipated in the planning and design of these facilities and will be accommodated. D. Any Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Effects (ii) The following discussion of adverse effects and possible mitigating measures relates directly to an expanded discussion of the above described environmental impacts resulting from the proposed action. 1. Geological Effects Where the filling abuts the Green River, overloading of the grade adjacent to the dike could precipitate lateral surface soil movement and possible damage to the dike. However, because the thickness of anticipated fill in the vicinity of the dike is minimal, no impact is expected. Filling at Andover East could cause silt runoff into the stream. However, this could be prevented by construction of a compacted dike capable of resisting erosion by the river and withstanding the lateral forces of the fill behind it. Surface drainage during construction could then be impounded behind the dike to trap silt and prevent it from reaching the river by means of the existing' storm drainage system. 2. Biological Effects The above noted displacement of terrestrial, botanical and wildlife species will be an unavoidable adverse environmental effect. Existing grass lands will be filled; migratory birds which pause in the remaining ecologically least- disturbed parts of the subject area will be dis- placed to other locations, as will mammals observed to exist in the area. The requirements for ornamental landscaping included within the Protective Covenants and the City Zoning Ordinance could be interpreted as mitigating the removal of existing vegetation by replacement with at least a comparable bio- mass as that offered by the indigenous grasses. Cost of landscape improvements will be born by the developers. There is no known technique for retaining wildlife in an intensively developed area. The Soil Conservation Service suggests, however, that some songbirds will use ornamental plantings for nesting areas and food. 3. Atmospheric Effects Increases in noise and air pollution will be unavoidable effects of commercial /industrial expansion in the subject area. Examination of the total commercial /industrial complex at Southcenter together with the adjacent interstate freeway systems, however, reveals that this increase will be experienced in the vicinity. if the City wishes to reduce noise impact, there are two basic strategies which could be utilized: a. Screening by vegetation. In particular, tall trees and brushes planted close to building walls will absorb and disperse sound and prevent the walls from acting as sounding boards. b. Make traffic move at low speeds, but not so slow as to necessitate changing gears (approximately 25 mph). Keep traffic moving and minimize stops. The second measure would aid in diminishing air pollution from traffic as well. 4. Surface Drainage The influence of expanded commercial /industrial development on storm water quantity and quality has been discussed under C.1.d. Impact on Surface Drainage and the River System, above. The following additional comments are with regard to adverse effects on water quality. Water quality will be influenced by pollutants in storm runoff from the developed areas which can have some influence on the river system. It is advisable, therefore, that skimmers and other pollutant control facilities be designed in the P -17 pumping plant to prevent severe contamination of the Green River. City flap gate outlets from the gravity systems may also need to be revised. In addition, accelerated surface runoff markedly increases the temperature of the receiving body. As noted above, the Green River is near thermal capacity, so the discharge from the storage pond should be considered a pollutant if it increases the river temperature. Relative discharge to river volumes make this adverse effect unlikely. Hydrocarbons entering the drainage system, in whatever amount, will float on the storage pond's surface. A discharge below the lowest anticipated pond water surface or a skimmer (inverted wier) is proposed. The wier system proposed by SCS to keep the anadromous fish out of the pond should also be designed to keep pond fish out of the river. Incorporation of any of these measures in the P -17 System will be the decision of the SCS engineers designing the system and reporting on its impact. Within active construction sites, there will be an adverse effect on water quality from siltation which originates from the washing of exposed earthwork areas. This will occur if measures are not taken to prevent silt from leaving these disturbed areas. -38- E. Alternatives to the Proposed Action (iii) 1. Alternative Projects or Programs Alternatives to the proposed action would have to begin with alternatives to Tukwila City Policies which the proposed action serves to implement. City policy decisions dealing with the subject area have, for some time, favored commercial /industrial development over other land uses including former agricultural uses. City policy makers and the citizens they represent, have valued the benefits of a higher tax base and increased employment opportunities above other considerations relating to the subject area. As mentioned earlier in this report, the Puget Sound Governmental Conference, the regional policy- making agency, acknowledges the Southcenter commercial /industrial complex as being a viable land use in this location, partly due to its already being long ago committed as an employment center and partly due to its relationship to regional transportation systems. Alternatives to the proposed action, therefore, must begin with alternatives to adopted policies at the local and regional level. These alternatives could conceivably be three in number: ... Do not approve further land development within the subject area (the traditional "do- nothing" alternative). Revert the undeveloped and partially filled portions of the subject area to agricultural use. ... Direct the undeveloped portions into other than commercial /industrial uses. a. Comparability of costs and accomplishments of alternative actions and non action. 1) A "do- nothing" alternative could result in costs to both the private and public sectors in the form of lost investment and tax revenues for each, respectively. Lost tax revenues would at least be partially offset by a reduction in the need for services provided by the City and other taxing agencies. The taxes which would continue to be levied on the unuseable property would be burdensome to the owners who would have no means available to earn a return on the land in order to offset these taxes. Other costs would be associated with the lack of efficiency resulting from the lack of continuity and order between developed, partially developed -39- and undeveloped portions of the subject area. Loss of the subject area as an available commercial/ industrial land resource would very possibly shift the burden of demand for this resource to another part of the region which may be governed by lower development standards, and /or which may not serve this land use as efficiently in terms of access to transportation, etc. and /or which may result in even greater environmental impact than will result from the proposed action. Accomplishments of a "do- nothing" alternative would be the preservation of undeveloped or partially developed portions of the subject area for future alternative uses. No alternative uses would at this time seem viable as will be discussed below; consequently the land would remain unused in the short term resulting in maintaining the status quo of present commercial /industrial activity. 2) Reverting the land back to agricultural use would be costly to accomplish. Portions of the subject area have been filled with imported soil and surcharged. Special measures would have to be taken to return the land to a fertile condition. Planned traffic, utility, and drainage facilities would have to be revised. Agriculture could only occur on a subsidized basis - high costs of rehabilitation, costs of farm production on the scale possible at this location and tax assessments on the land would probably not be offset by the return from farm products, providing there is a sufficient market for such products in the first place. SCS reports that loss of market organization is already a problem. One producer of lettuce last year plowed his crop under because he could not market it. Accomplishments of this alternative would be the preservation of agricultural use on soils suitable for this activity. This land use is currently being zoned and assessed out of existence in the Green River Valley. If preservation of agricultural use in the Green River Valley evolves as a true regional policy, it could be more feasibly accomplished in other areas not already disrupted by extensive alterations to the land and not already covered with conflicting land uses as is the case within the subject area. 3) The third alternative of directing the remaining undeveloped or partially developed portions of the subject area to other than commercial /industrial -40- uses is perhaps the most feasible of the three alternatives discussed. It remains contrary, how- ever, to established market trends and would require a shift in political and economic policies to stimulate such a change. Some of the other land uses that could occur are residential subdivisions, parks and recreation facilities, and institutional uses such as hos- pitals, government centers, schools, housing, etc. As with agriculture, residential uses would have to be subsidized in some manner because the high costs of land development in the subject area pre- cludes a favorable economic return on any but the most intensive uses. The demand for parks and institutional uses is such that it can be as easily met at other, less costly sites. An example is King County's recent purchase of a forty -nine acre park site, one half mile north of the subject area. The site is undeveloped farm land purchased for $15,000 to $20,000 per acre. Partially developed land, within the subject area, which is served by established arterials and utilities systems would cost proportionately more. Accomplishments of the alternative would be to shift from the commercial /industrial uses at this location which has served as a precedent for the entire Green River Valley, to other forms of development. Though these uses would possibly be less intensive in nature, they would still require land development measures similar to those resulting from the proposed action. b. Summary of environmental impact for the alternative actions. 1) A "do- nothing" alternative would result in a net increase in the biomass of the subject area as the dormant land begins to naturally reseed to a denser plant cover, thereby establishing more favorable wildlife habitats. Storm runoff would be reduced by an increased capacity for infiltration, absorption and evapotranspiration as the plant mass was established; paved surfaces resulting from the proposed action would not occur. Water quality would remain as it is or improve depending upon the amount of off site water which is absorbed by the undeveloped land, rather than allowed to enter the river. Air quality would be improved by the respiratory processes of the increased plant mass. Physical site characteristics would remain the same. -41-- 2) Agriculture would result in an alteration to the existing condition of the site by the removal of fill material and cultivation of the land. An increase in vegetation mass would occur in terms of crops or pasture grasses. There would be, how- ever, a disruption of existing wildlife habititats with land cultivation. Water quality would be influenced by an increase in nutrients from fertilizers and livestock washed into the drainage system. 3) The third alternative would, in all instances (except use of the subject area as parks) result in environmental impact similar to that described for the proposed action. Any substantial land development would have to be initiated with a continuation of the present earthwork program. The environmental impacts: Disruption of biological systems, increases in air and water pollution levels, increases in storm runoff and increases in noise and traffic congestion would all occur, but to a greater or lesser degree depending upon the nature of the alternative land uses undertaken. 2. Alternative modifications within the proposed action Alternative modifications to the commercial /industrial development resulting from the proposed action would involve changes in the standards which regulate this development. The Andover Industrial Park protective covenants have been considered model guidelines for other similar installations and are in many instances more stringent than city requirements as established by the zoning ordinance. The development patterns within the Andover Industrial Park complex are controlled by the existing and planned arterials, utilities installations, drainage systems, railroad spurs, etc. and modifications to future development would have to acknowledge these controlling factors. F. Relationship Between Local Short -Term Environmental Uses and the Maintenance and Enhancement of Long -Term Productivity 1. Time Involved in Proposed Short -Term Uses Short -term uses for the subject area will constitute a transition time only in which all of the land within the subject area will be converted to commercial, industrial and business uses. 2. Potentials for Long -Term Productivity of Involved Resources Potentials for long -term productivity of involved, non- renewable resources largely involve the land area itself. -42- a. Choices of Use Available Development resulting from the proposed action will pre- clude the land being used for agricultural purposes, except if market conditions determine that the need for land for commercial /industrial uses in this area is not critical. This may be the case farther South in the Green River Valley, but is not likely at this location. b. Potential Long -Term or Future Economic Productivity Future economic productivity will largely depend on the industrial growth trends in the central Puget Sound Region. Industry will continue to be largely distributive and service oriented rather than manufacturing in nature. 3. Preclusion or Enhancement of Long Term Potentials Long term potentials for continuation of commercial /industrial activity are enhanced by the fact that this complex has evolved from a planning process which has been on -going for fifteen years. No other similar development in the Green River Valley has been as carefully planned. Approval for the exist- ing development has been gained from governing jurisdictions on a systematic basis. a. Optional Future Uses Precluded or Enhanced Change to other future uses will only occur if unantici- pated political and economic policies of the region alter the present market oriented growth dynamics of the area. Changes in technology could have other effects as yet unknown. b. Degree of Preclusion or Enhancement Present municipal and regional policy is directed toward enhancing current development activities while at the same time undertaking continuous study and revision of development goals. G. Irreversible and Irretrievable Resource Commitments With The Proposed Action (v) 1. Commitments The proposed action will result in the commitment of the subject area to commercial and industrial land uses, which, in turn, will commit financial resources, construction materials and labor to achieving such use. This will, in turn, result in some preclusion of optional future land uses and loss of the intrinsic resource of fertile soil. -43- a. Nature & Relative Permanence of Commitments The commitment resulting from the proposed action is permanent relative to today's standards and will be long -term, probably fifty years or more. b. Stability of Resources Involved Abundant land area within the Green River Valley has been zoned for industrial use, but extensive conversion of farmland is contrary to evolving regional goals. Regional policies, however, do allow for the commitment of the subject area to this conversion since it is nearly an accomplished fact and since it is so advantaged with regard to access to transportation systems vital to this use. c. Percentage of Resource to be Permanently Committed Nearly one - hundred percent of the remaining undeveloped or partially developed land within the subject area will be committed to commercial /industrial use. 2. Reason for Irreversibility and Irretrievability The commitment of the subject area to its present use has been made after undertaking comprehensive planning for this use and receiving full approval for doing so. Reversing this commitment would be contrary to present policies of the governing jurisdictions involved. a.
