ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST REVIEW - EPIC - 130 -80
ADEN O'DELL, HAZEL'S CANDIES
I.) SCOPE..OF PROJECT'
The subject checklist is submitted in conjunction with an application for
Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit to allow conversion of
an existing metal building from a concrete products fabricating facility to
a candy manufacturing /retail use. The subject: substantial development permit
will also allow for remodel and conversion of an existing auxiliary building
on this same site to office /retail uses.
The property is located at 14040 Interurban Avenue adjacent to the Green
River.
II.) SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The project site is relatively flat with a visually imperceptible eastward
slope of 1% + toward the river bank. Most of the site not covered by struc-
tures is open earth, and no significant vegetation is found, except for small
deciduous trees immediately adjacent to the river bank. The river bank itself
is nearly vertical, and is composed of loose soil, wild vines, and marsh grasses.
III.) POTENTIAL SITE - SPECIFIC WATER POLLUTION SOURCES
The principal influence that this project will have on the adjoining river is
its contribution to chemical and particulate pollution levels from storm
water runoff. Rainwater falling directly on the wood or metal roofs of the
existing buildings can be expected over the long run to dislodge minute paint
particles, rust, and creosote. Large delivery vehicles maneuvering in or near
the warehouse area and employee /visitor vehicles will emit hydrocarbon parti-
culate exhause products, and possibly leak lubricants or fuels, all of which
will accumulate on the ground surface and be transported to the river as
run -off by- products. The open condition of the majority of the site, however,
and the slow internal drainage characteristic of the principal soil group
present will have the effect of filtering some of the heavier by- products.
Should extensive paving occur with redevelopment of thesite, increased rate of
run -off and absorbtion by the river of waste products can be expected.
IV.) CONCLUSION
The cumulative impact of upstream shoreline development on the Green - Duwamish
River corridor will diminish overall water quality; however, the incremental
contribution of the O'Dell project to the overall river pollution level at
any given time is expected to be relatively insignificant.
V.) RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends granting a negative declaration incoporati.ng•the'following
measures into the approval:
1) Prohibition of outdoor storage of fuels or manufacturing raw
materials within the river high impact zone established by the
Tukwila Shoreline Master Plan.
2) ,Prohibition of vehicle maneuvering or long -term parking
within 25.' of the river mean high water level.
3) If any substantial open portion of the site is covered
with impervious paving material, oil separators should
be installed as part of the'drainage system serving
that paved area.
