Aden M. O'Dell, Hazel's Candies Proponent Location of Proposal 14040 Interurban Avenue S. Lead Agency City of Tukwila File No. EPIC - 130 -80 This proposal has been determined to (havc /not have) a significant adverse im- pact upon the environment. An EIS (i -sjis not) required under.RCW 43.21C.030(2) (c). This decision was made after review by the lead agency of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. Responsible Official Mark Caughey Position /Title Acting Planning Director Date 3 April 1980 Signature COMMENTS: 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 40' 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 drain- age system serving that paved area. • • 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. • CITY OF TUKWILA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM This questionnaire must be completed and submitted with the application for permit.
