L PROJECT INFORMATION Project File Number: L12-016 Applicant: Bruce Blunt, for Rainier Industries Type of Permit: Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Project Description: To utilize approximately 1,600 cu. yds. of sand from decommissioned Hesco Units to fill behind the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 205 certified levee in an area formerly containing railroad tracks. The Hesco Units served as supplemental flood containment walls along the Green River while repairs to the Howard Hanson Dam were undertaken from 2009 to 2012. The fill will be placed along the west side of the building, approximately four feet deep and thirty-two feet wide. The fill will raise the ground level between the building and the levee making it even with the factory floor. Each end of the filled area will be sloped back to the existing grade at approximately 1:15 slope. The raising of the ground level outside the building will allow the movement of product safely and securely between the various production departments from outside the building, which will avoid the pedestrian safety conflicts currently existing inside the building. The filled area will also provide access to the levee. The applicant is required to keep a 15 foot area measured from the toe of the back side of the levee clear of all vegetation for COE levee inspection.

DECISION SEPA Determination: The City SEPA Responsible Official has previously: Xl determined that the project, as proposed, does not create a probable significant environmental impact and issued a Determination of Non -Significance (DNS). Decision on Substantive Permit: The City Community Development Director has determined that the application for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit does comply with applicable City and state code requirements and has approved that application, subject to any conditions which are set forth in the Decision based on the findings and conclusions contained in the staff report. The conditions of approval are set forth below: 1. Substitute Douglas Fir for the Western Red Cedar and shore pine or another tree that is better suited to the more narrow planting areas — saving the Douglas Fir for the wider planting area; 2. In lieu of some of the shrubs in the wider planting areas, provide 4-5 additional Douglas Fir trees. 3. Revise the planting notes to include specifications on planting bed soil preparation requirements, including the use of sufficient organic material for good tree and shrub growth 4. Substitute a more shade tolerant native groundcover for the Kinninnick, which is better suited to full sun. 5. Reduce the groundcover spacing to a maximum of one foot on center to ensure good coverage. Mulch is not to be used for low growing ground cover — if sword ferns are used as a ground cover, then four inches of mulch is appropriate. 6. Deciduous and Coniferous Tree Planting Details — a. Trees should not be staked. b. Clarify on plans that all burlap, wire baskets or other materials be removed prior to planting. c. No J roots, no circling roots, no root in root ball greater than 1/10 of trunk diameter. Specifications for Douglas Fir should include root ball diameters of between 20 and 22 inches for that height of tree, and that the trunk is in the center of the root ball, and that the root ball depth is not less than 60% of the root ball diameter. Also the root flare must be visible. 8. Buffer Groundcover, Shrub and Tree Planting detail: a. Delete reference to removal of existing sod, as entire planting strip is to be prepared for planting. b. Mulch should be within 2 to 3 inches of trunks/crowns (except for low growing groundcovers) c. Roots shall be loosened prior to planting. No circling roots, plants shall not be root bound. d. Make it clear that plants are to be installed so that top of root ball is level with ground surface. 9. Add note to landscaping plan to clarify how plants will be irrigated until established (2 to 3 dry seasons) and identify contractor's responsibility for watering. The Decision on this Permit Application is a Type 2 decision pursuant to Tukwila Municipal Code § 18.104.010. Other land use applications related to this project may still be pending. III.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Jim Haggerton, Mayor Jack Pace, Director The proposed project is to utilize approximately 1,600 cu. yds. of sand from decommissioned Hesco Units to fill behind the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 205 certified levee in an area formerly containing railroad tracks. The Hesco Units served as supplemental flood containment walls along the Green River while repairs to the Howard Hanson Dam were undertaken from 2009 to 2012. The fill will be placed along the west side of the building, approximately four feet deep and thirty-two feet wide. The fill will raise the ground level between the building and the levee making it even with the factory floor. Each end of the filled area will be sloped back to the existing grade at approximately 1:15 slope. The raising of the ground level outside the building will allow the movement of product safely and securely between the various production departments from outside the building, which will avoid the pedestrian safety conflicts currently existing inside the building. The filled area will also provide access to the levee. The applicant is required to keep a 15 foot area measured from the toe of the back side of the levee clear of all vegetation for COE levee inspection. The following photo illustrates the rear of the Rainier Industries building, with the levee on the far left and the Hesco Units in the upper left corner, covered with black plastic. The former railroad bed was located in the area where the gravel is shown just to the left of the existing fence. The Shoreline Substantial Development Permit application and the site plans are found in Attachment A.

TUKWILA SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM - BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila adopted a new Shoreline Master Program (SMP) on August 15, 2011 which was approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology on October 14, 2011 and became effective October 28, 2011. A. Shoreline Environment Designation The shoreline environment designation for the site is Urban Conservancy; the purpose of the Urban Conservancy Environment is to protect ecological functions where they exist in urban and developed settings, and restore ecological functions where they have been previously degraded, while allowing a variety of compatible uses. The shoreline buffer in the Urban Conservancy environment is 125 feet when the shoreline includes a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers certified levee. The buffer behind a levee is reduced if the levee has been laid back at a 2.5:1 slope, with a mid -slope bench. When the levee has been laid back, the buffer width is reduced to the actual distance as measured from the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) to the landward toe of the levee plus 10 feet (the distance required at the time the SMP was prepared by the COE to be kept clear of structures and plantings). In the case of the Rainier Industries building, it lies behind a portion of levee that has been laid back (the Desimone levee repair and setback, constructed in the mid- I990's). As a result, approximately half of the buffer is reduced. There are no plans currently to setback the remainder of the levee to incorporate a mid -slope bench. B. How Shoreline Buffer Widths Were Determined The determination of the buffer distances for each shoreline environment in Tukwila was based on several factors including the analysis of buffer functions needed for protecting and restoring shoreline ecological function (as presented in the Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Report) and the need to allow space for bank stability and for protecting human life and structures from damage from high flows, erosion and bank failures. The safety of residents and people who work in buildings along the CPL Page 2 of 12 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Development July 16, 2012 shoreline has become even more important in recent years due to the increase in stormwater entering the river from increased impervious surfaces throughout the watershed and the 2009-2012 problems with the Howard Hanson Dam which precluded being able to store as much flood water behind the dam in the winter until the dam was repaired. The lack of storage capability behind the dam increased the frequency and intensity of flows during high rain events during the time that repairs were underway. These higher and more frequent flows put more stress on over -steepened banks all along the river, increasing the possibility of bank erosion, levee failures, and bank failures. Thus, ensuring that new structures are not built too close to the river's edge is crucial to avoid loss of human life and property. The 125 foot buffer width established for the Urban Conservancy environment behind levees is the maximum area needed to lay back the levee at a 2.5:1 slope and provides sufficient room to incorporate a mid -slope bench that can be planted with vegetation to improve river habitat. The mid - slope bench also will allow access for maintenance equipment, when needed. As the Corps of Engineers does not permit planting on the levee prism, the only way to improve habitat along the 205 levee portion of the river is to create a bench that can be vegetated that will not create a hazard for the stability of the levee. The SMP requires a ten foot easement behind the landward toe of the levee to allow access for levee inspection (the COE has since increased this required "clear" area to 15 feet, as reflected in the project under review in this permit). The final buffer widths adopted by the City and approved by Ecology for each shoreline environment attempted to balance shoreline ecological function needs, human life and property protection needs (including future levee repair/reconstruction), existing land use patterns, and state and federal agency policies. C. Shoreline Goals and Policies: The following section discusses the Shoreline Master Program goals and policies that apply to this project and are excerpted from Chapter 6 of the City's SMP. Goal 6.3 Economic Development: Goal: Development along the shoreline that fosters the economic vitality of Tukwila while preserving the long-term benefits of the river. Response: The placement of fill in the location of the former railroad tracks is proposed to improve the distribution of goods between different departments of Rainier Industries and will resolve safety issues that currently exist with moving product inside the building with forklifts. The fill will take place behind the levee and as a result will not impact the river or be a detriment to the river. CPL Page 3 of 12 07/16/2012 H:\\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Developmen July 16, 2012 6.9 Natural Environment and Habitat Use Goal: Restored, enhanced and protected natural environment resources along the river, including trees, wildlife habitat and features with value for long-term public, scientific and educational uses. Policy 5.9.1: Ensure that shoreline development results in no net loss of shoreline ecological function, minimizes impacts on wildlife and that significant vegetation, sandbars, wetlands, watercourses, and other critical areas identified as important for habitat are maintained through the proper location, design, construction, and management of all shoreline uses and activities. Response: The applicant prepared a no net loss analysis (NNL), which is attached as part of Attachment A to this staff report. The NNL addresses the mitigation sequencing criteria in the SMP. The response to mitigation sequencing is provided below: a. Avoid the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action: The project will substantially avoid all direct impacts to the ecological process of the shoreline as it does not impact vegetation, habitat, critical species or hydrologic processes. All work is taking place in the area formerly occupied by railroad in an area that has little to no habitat value due to restrictions by the COE on vegetation plantings. b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts. The proposed project will minimize any impacts as it is separated from the river by the levee system. The project will use Best Management Practices as required by the grading permit, with temporary erosion and sediment control during the construction process. c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment: There appear to be no direct impacts to existing habitats or the ecological processes in this area. As part of the planned work, the project proposes to restore a 3,050 sf portion of the project area with native trees and shrubs (see Landscape Plan, Sheet P2.40, for a proposed planting plan and plant schedule). These plantings will be installed in a strip between the proposed paving adjacent to the building and the levee maintenance access path at the toe of the levee slope. These plantings will provide an enhancement to the ecological processes that currently exist in the shoreline environment, which will include the following benefits: 1) Wildlife Habitat: The new plantings will provide woody vegetative cover where none ` previously existed, which will provide refuge, habitat, and food sources for birds and small mammals. 2) Stormwater Attenuation: The new plantings will help to attenuate stormwater runoff from the new paved area. All runoff from the new paved surfaces will drain to the native planting strip where it will be fully infiltrated into the soil. 3) Hydrology Benefits: Runoff will be fully infiltrated, helping to recharge groundwater and maintain river base flow. 4) Water Quality Benefits: Runoff will be filtered as it slowly percolates through the soil and plant root systems. 5) Shoreline Buffer: The proposed trees and shrubs will help to buffer the shoreline of the Green/Duwamish River from activities on the developed areas of the project site. Existing CPL Page 4 of 12 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Development July 16, 2012 cottonwood trees on the back of the levee slope were recently cut down, as required by the Corps of Engineers to maintain Federal certification of the levee. As the new native trees and shrubs mature, they will help to replace the physical buffer these cottonwood trees provided to the shoreline environment. 6) Screening: Although not a direct ecological benefit, the proposed native plantings will provide screening of the proposed fence, and partial screening of the Rainier Industries building, as they mature. This will benefit users of the levee trail and will increase the value of this portion of the Green/Duwamish River corridor as a public green space. The City's Urban Environmentalist has reviewed the proposed landscaping plan and provided comments on revisions that will be required. In addition, the City concurs with the proposed substitution of Douglas Firs for the Western Red Cedars as suggested by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. The Urban Environmentalist also recommended substituting Shore Pines in the areas of the planting strip that are less than 5 feet in width; require soil preparation details to be added to the landscaping plan; substituting another ground cover that is more shade tolerant and several other technical corrections to the planting plan details. d. Reducing or eliminating the impact overtime by preservation and maintenance operations; The applicant has provided the following information about maintenance of the project over time: "The new native plantings will be maintained by the applicant/owner to ensure proper establishment over the first several years of growth. This will include providing sufficient water (a minimum of I" per week during the dry season) by either a temporary irrigation system or hand watering, removing weeds, straightening plants and staking as necessary, replenishing mulch, and replacing dead plants as necessary. If certain species are found to not be thriving at the planting site, species substitutions of equivalent native species (i.e. equivalent in form and function) may be made to ensure the survival of replacement plants. After the plantings have become established, the applicant/owner will maintain the plantings in a natural state; they will not be maintained as ornamental landscaping, e.g., shrubs and trees will not be mechanically sheared. Only minimal pruning will be done periodically to keep the security fence line adjacent to the new paving strip clear, and to maintain a 15-foot access path at the toe of the levee slope, as required by the City. The applicant/owner will provide permanent periodic maintenance to keep the native planting area free of trash, debris, and invasive species. This long-term maintenance may also include the occasional replacement of plants, as necessary, to maintain the native vegetation restoration area in a healthy, fully vegetated condition to maintain ecological function. These maintenance measures will serve to continually enhance and preserve the ecological benefits of the native vegetation restoration area." The maintenance process outlined above is acceptable, with the caveat that watering must match environmental conditions to ensure that enough water is applied to ensure successful establishment of the plant material. e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and It is expected that there will be no direct impacts to existing habitats or ecological processes. The proposed ecological enhancement measures proposed by the applicant are discussed in "c" above. f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. The applicant provided the following information about monitoring: "The proposed native vegetation restoration area will be monitored in perpetuity by the applicant/owner to ensure it maintains its intended ecological functions. See item "d" above for a description of proposed maintenance measures." CPL Page 5 of 12 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Developmen' July 16, 2012 The SMP states that property owners are required to ensure the viability and long-term health of trees planted through proper care and maintenance for the life of the project. Policy 5.9.2: Ensure that shoreline development and activities protect riverbank vegetation and, where feasible, restore degraded riverbanks in accordance with the vegetation management provisions of the Shoreline Master Program, in order to minimize and compensate for impacts to fish and wildlife habitat. Response: The natural character of the river in the area of the proposed project has been altered to a major extent due to the construction of the levee to provide flood protection as well as the adjacent industrial development. 3. SHORELINE REGULATIONS: TMC 18.44.130 B. 3. Shoreline Administration states that a substantial development permit shall be granted only when the development proposed is consistent with the shoreline master program. The relevant SMP policies were discussed above. Below is a discussion of the relevant shoreline master program regulations that are incorporated into the zoning code that apply to this permit application. A. Permitted Uses: TMC 18.44.060 identifies permitted uses in the Urban Conservancy environment - industrial uses are permitted outside the buffer area. The Rainier Industries building was constructed in 1978, well before the approval of the new SMP in 2011. It is not known when the railroad tracks that ran between the rear of the building and the levee were installed, however, they were removed in the past year as they had not been used for a number of years. The proposed fill will be placed where the railroad tracks were formerly located. As noted above, one of the major purposes of the 125 foot buffer width in areas of the river with levee is to ensure that no new structures are placed in harm's way. This project does not involve the placement of structures that would preclude the laying back of the remainder of the levee in the future when either the need or the funds exist for such a project. In addition, there is an easement over the entire site granted to King County Flood Control District to permit flood control projects to be constructed at such time as when they are needed. The addition of the fill will not interfere with implementing this easement. Since a portion of the levee already has been laid back on this site with the existing building in place, there is sufficient room available for that to occur in the future on the remaining portion of the levee adjacent to the Rainier Industries building. The zoning/Comprehensive Plan designation for the site is Commercial/Light Industrial. The industrial operation located at this site is a permitted use in this zoning district. CPL Page 6 of 12 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Development July 16, 2012 B. Development Standards TMC 18.44.070 C. establishes development standards for the Urban Conservancy shoreline environment. These include setbacks, site configuration, height restrictions and lighting standards. As this project does not involve the construction of structures, setbacks, site configuration and height restrictions do not apply. No new lighting will be added for this project — the existing wall mounted light fixtures will continue to be used to illuminate the rear of the building. TMC 18.44.070 C. states that the development standards for the applicable underlying zoning district apply — again as structures are not proposed, these standards do not apply. C. Surface Water and Water Quality TMC 18.44.070 D provides development standards for shoreline development. The project proposes to allow run-off from the newly paved area to infiltrate into the fill area. The project will follow the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual standards for infiltration. The soils report prepared by Terra Associates sampled three areas near the Rainier Industries building. The samples showed a high fines content, which is not suitable for regional infiltration but is suitable for use in small scale areas, such as the proposed project. Projects are required to be designed so as to cause no net loss to shoreline ecological functions. No net loss has been addressed above under the discussion of the consistency of this project with shoreline goals and policies. D. Landfill Activities: TMC 18.44.070, Development Standards (Section 9.11 of the SMP) addresses clearing, grading and landfill activities in the shoreline jurisdiction. The SMP requires all land altering activities in the shoreline jurisdiction to be in conjunction with an underlying land development permit, except for shoreline restoration projects. The applicant has applied for a public works permit to place the sand behind the existing building, PW 12-040. In addition, all activities shall meet the following standards: 1. Land altering shall be permitted only where it meets the following criteria: a. The work is the minimum necessary to accomplish an allowed shoreline use; Response: Four feet of fill will permit bringing the ground outside the building up to the factory floor level to enable the movement of goods between two outside doors. No fill beyond this will be placed behind the building. b. Impacts to the natural environment are minimized and mitigated; Response: The environment behind the levee has been severely altered from the original CPL Page 7 of 12 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Developmen July 16, 2012 natural state prior to the construction of the levee. The applicant will be planting a strip of native trees and plants outside the fifteen foot area required to be clear of any vegetation by the COE. c. Water quality, river flows and/or fish habitat are not adversely affected; Response: As the fill is taking place behind the levee, there is no opportunity for the fill to spill into the river. Run-off from the new paved area will be infiltrated; the soils report has indicated that this will work for the site soils. d. Public access and river navigation are not diminished; Response: Public access and river navigation are not affected by this proposal — the fill is taking place on private property on the landward side of the levee and not on the Green River Trail, or in the river, both of which lie to the west. e. The project complies with all federal and state requirements and the project has been coordinated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Response: The project has been designed to comply with all federal and state requirements. f. The project complies with the vegetation protection criteria of the Vegetation Protection and Landscaping Section; Response: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers restricts the area that can be planted on and behind certified levees. For the area that can be planted, the project complies with the vegetation and landscaping section of the City's SMP. g. Documentation is provided to demonstrate that the fill comes from a clean source. Response: The fill is from the Hesco units, which contain clean fill. The Hesco units were placed by the City at the top of the river bank to provide additional flood protection while repairs to the Howard Hanson Dam were undertaken, It should be noted that the discussion on fill during development of the City's SMP was focused on fill placed waterward of the ordinary high water mark — it was not anticipated that there would be an interest in utilizing the fill from the Hesco units on sites adjacent to the flood protection devices. 2. Clearing, grading and landfill activities, where allowed, shall include erosion control mechanisms, and any reasonable restriction on equipment, methods or timing necessary to minimize the introduction of suspended solids or leaching of contaminants into the river, or the disturbance of wildlife or fish habitats in accordance with the standards in the Grading Chapter, TMC 16.54, Response: The project will use Best Management Practices during the construction phase of the project, through the issuance of the Public Works grading permit. Because the construction CPL Page 8 of 12 07/16/2012 H:\\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L 12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Development July 16, 2012 activity will take place on the landward side of the levee, the opportunity for erosion and siltation is minimal. E. Vegetation Protection and Landscaping TMC 18.44.080 provides requirements for landscaping in both the buffer and non -buffer areas of the shoreline environment. The applicant has provided a landscaping plan for the area that is outside the 15 foot clear area required by the COE and the 14 foot area that will be paved for access between the loading dock and second outside loading door. This planting area varies in width from four feet to twelve feet. Native plants will be used with a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs and groundcover. In response to comments from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, one of the evergreen varieties will be revised from Western Red Cedar to Douglas Fir. In addition, 4-5 more trees will be substituted for shrubs in the wider portions of the planting area. The Urban Environmentalist has provided required revisions to the landscaping plan as follows: 1. Substitute shore pine or another tree that is better suited to the more narrow planting areas, saving the Douglas Fir for the wider planting area; 2. Given that the site was previously a railroad track, and that fill will consist of sand, adequate preparation of the planting area is crucial for plant health and survival. The entire planting bed must be prepared with sufficient organic material and at a sufficient depth for good tree and shrub growth. Good soil will also help with infiltrating surface water. Good soil preparation specifications must be included on the revised landscaping plan. 3. Substitute a more shade tolerant native groundcover for the Kinninnick, which likes full sun. The two foot spacing shown on the landscaping plan is too wide for groundcover spacing —1 foot is the maximum acceptable spacing to ensure good coverage for a low growing groundcover. Four -inches of mulch is not conducive to groundcover spread. Maybe could consider using sword ferns instead. 4. Deciduous and Coniferous Tree Planting Details — a. Trees should not be staked. b. Clarify on plans that all burlap, wire baskets or other materials be removed prior to planting. c. No J roots, no circling roots, no root in root ball greater than 1/10 of trunk diameter. 5. Specifications for Douglas Fir should include root ball diameters of between 20 and 22 inches for that height of tree, and that the trunk is in the center of the root ball, and that the root ball depth is not less than 60% of the root ball diameter. Also the root flare must be visible. 6. Buffer Groundcover, Shrub and Tree Planting detail: a. Delete reference to removal of existing sod, as entire planting strip is to be prepared for planting. b.

Clarify how plants will be irrigated until established (2 to 3 dry seasons) and also contractor's responsibility for watering. F. Public Access TMC 18.44.100 addresses public access requirement for the SMP. Public access is required when a development or use would create additional demand for public access through the addition of square footage to an existing building or the intensification in land use through the conversion of a warehouse to a retail or office use. This project will not create additional demand for public access as no additional square footage is being added to the building and the current use is not being converted to a more intense land use. G. Shoreline Design Guidelines This section of the TMC does not apply (TMC 18.44.110) as no structures are being constructed. 4. COMMENTS: Comments were received during the Notice of Application period from Karen Walter, Watershed and Land Use Team Leader for the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. The issues raised in her comments were addressed through the analysis of environmental impacts of the proposed project in the SEPA staff report. A copy of the comment letter is found in Attachment B. 5. SEPA: A determination of non -significance was issued on July 17, 2012. A copy of the SEPA determination and staff report are attached (Attachment Q. CONCLUSIONS 1. The project site is located in an industrial park and is designated Commercial/Light Industrial on the Comprehensive Plan map and zoned Commercial/Light Industrial. The proposed project is consistent with the land use and zoning designations. 2. The proposed project is to utilize approximately 1,600 cu. yds. of sand from decommissioned Hesco Units to fill behind the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 205 certified levee in an area formerly containing railroad tracks. The Hesco Units served as supplemental flood containment walls along the Green River while repairs to the Howard Hanson Dam were undertaken from 2009 to 2012. The fill will be placed along the west side of the building, approximately four feet deep and thirty-two feet wide. The fill will raise the ground level between the building and the levee CPL Page 10 of 12 07/16/2012 H:\\Rainier Industries\Shoreline Staff Report L12-016-Rainier Industries Shoreline Substantial Development July 16, 2012 making it even with the factory floor, which will allow the movement of product safely and securely between the various production departments from outside the building, which will avoid the pedestrian safety conflicts currently existing inside the building. The filled area will also provide access to the levee. The applicant is required to keep a 15 foot area measured from the toe of the back side of the levee clear of all vegetation for COE levee inspection. 3. The City of Tukwila adopted a new Shoreline Master Program (SMP) on August 15, 2011; it was approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology on October 14, 2011 and became effective October 28, 2011. 4. The shoreline environment designation for the project area is Urban Conservancy, with a buffer width of 125 feet as the site is behind a COE certified levee; the buffer width is reduced if the levee has been laid back with a mid -slope bench on which vegetation has been planted for habitat improvement. A portion of the levee behind the Rainier Industries building has been laid back with a mid -slope bench — as a result the buffer in this area is reduced to the actual distance as measured from the ordinary high water mark to the landward toe of the levee plus 10 feet. The 10 foot area is the distance required at the time the SMP was prepared by the COE to be kept clear of structures and plantings. This distance has since been increased by the COE to 15 feet. 5. The shoreline buffer width for the Urban Conservancy environment behind a levee was established in part to protect human life and prevent new structures from being built too close to the river. The 125 foot area is the maximum area need to setback the levee at a 2.5:1 slope with a mid -slope bench for vegetation plantings. There are no plans to set the remainder of the levee back behind the Rainier Industries building at this point, however, there is sufficient area if and when there are funds or a need to lay the levee back. 6. No structures are proposed for the area between the levee and the rear of the building that would prevent the lay back of the levee at such time as there is a need. 7. The proposed project is consistent with economic development and natural environment and habitat use goals and policies of the SMP. 8. The project has analyzed the no net loss provisions of the SMP and will avoid all direct impacts to the ecological processes of the shoreline. A vegetative strip will be planted between the 15 foot required clear area and the 14 foot area that will be used for movement of product outside the building. This strip varies from 47' to over 12 feet over a length of 300-plus feet and will be planted with native plants. The Urban Environmentalist is requiring revisions to the planting plan to adjust two of the proposed tree species and required other technical revisions to the planting plan. 9. The industrial use of the site is permitted by the shoreline environment designation as well as the underlying zoning. 10. The proposed project is consistent with the applicable development standards of the SMP: a) Surface water and water quality: the project will follow the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual; a soils report prepared by Terra Associates has determined that infiltration for this small scale use is suitable; b) Landfill: the work is the minimum needed to accomplish an allowed shoreline use; the impacts have been minimized and mitigated; water quality, river flows and fish habitat are not adversely affected; public access and river navigation are not affected; the project has been designed to comply with all state and federal requirements; the fill complies with the vegetation protection criteria of the SMP; the fill has been supplied from a clean source; and best management practices will be utilized during the construction phase of the project through the issuance of the Public Works grading permit.

RECOMMENDATION Approve the shoreline substantial development permit with the following conditions: 1. Substitute Douglas Fir for the Western Red Cedar and shore pine or another tree that is better suited to the more narrow planting areas — saving the Douglas Fir for the wider planting area; 2. In lieu of some of the shrubs in the wider planting areas, provide 4-5 additional Douglas Fir trees. 3. Revise the planting notes to include specifications on planting bed soil preparation requirements, including the use of sufficient organic material for good tree and shrub growth 4. Substitute a more shade tolerant native groundcover for the Kinninnick, which is better suited to full sun. 5. Reduce the groundcover spacing to a maximum of one foot on center to ensure good coverage. Mulch is not to be used for low growing ground cover — if sword ferns are used as a ground cover, then four inches of mulch is appropriate. 6. Deciduous and Coniferous Tree Planting Details — a. Trees should not be staked. b. Clarify on plans that all burlap, wire baskets or other materials be removed prior to planting. c. No J roots, no circling roots, no root in root ball greater than 1/10 of trunk diameter. 7. Specifications for Douglas Fir should include root ball diameters of between 20 and 22 inches for that height of tree, and that the trunk is in the center of the root ball, and that the root ball depth is not less than 60% of the root ball diameter. Also the root flare must be visible. 8. Buffer Groundcover, Shrub and Tree Planting detail: a. Delete reference to removal of existing sod, as entire planting strip is to be prepared for planting. b. Mulch should be within 2 to 3 inches of trunks/crowns (except for low growing groundcovers) c. Roots shall be loosened prior to planting. No circling roots, plants shall not be root bound. d. Make it clear that plants are to be installed so that top of root ball is level with ground surface. 9. Add note to landscaping plan to clarify how plants will be irrigated until established (2 to 3 dry seasons) and identify contractor's responsibility for watering.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ANALYSIS AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS: Vicinity Map • Attached "Vicinity Map" 2. Provide: a) See the attached plan sheets illustrating compliance with Review Guidelines. b) No Net Loss Checklist 1. Describe the existing condition of the shoreline area and riverbank For example, what plants and how much vegetation currently exist within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction; what is the condition of the shoreline (how steep are the banks, is there any erosion or slope failure, what are the soils like); is there "hard armoring" on the riverbank (for example, concrete or wooden bulkheads, metal sheet piling, rip -rap [rocks or concrete/asphalt blocks]), is there paving or are there any structures within the 200 ft. shoreline jurisdiction; are there any docks, piers, decks or other structures near or over the water; are there any above -ground or below ground utilities; etc.? This project, as proposed, will be approximately 400-feet along the river. In this area the river path is defined by the levee. The riverbank (river side of the levee) is lush with native vegetation which is overgrown and thriving. The riverbank does not appear to show any signs of erosion or slope failure and it is monitored and maintained by the city and county and certified by the US Army Corps of Engineers. This proposed project will have no impact on the river shoreline, river, vegetation along the riverbank, fish, fish habitat, etc. The site is already developed with an urban use. The proposed project will improve the existing state of the non- conforming railroad bed on the landward side of the levee. The area of the proposed fill is between the west side of the Rainier building and the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 600-feet long and the Rainier property is roughly 725-feet long. The fill proposed for this project will be about 400-feet long total. Current condition of the 125-foot buffer area along Rainier's property: The river side of the levee is a thriving natural area that is lush with native vegetation. There are no bulkheads, metal piling, rip -rap, or structures anywhere along the river in this area. The public access path along the top of the levee has been replaced with a temporary sandbag flood containment wall for the last couple of years and is in a state of apparent neglect. The landward slope of the levee is covered primarily with native grass and appears to be stable with no signs of sagging or erosion. When the sandbags were added to the top of the levee, a row of mature Poplar trees were cut down from the landward side of the levee. The stumps and root systems are the only dominate features on the landward side of the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 30-feet from the landward levee toe and runs more or less parallel to the levee. The 30-feet of ground between the building and the levee is mostly flat and is the bed of the abandoned BN railroad. The tracks have been removed and the area of the proposed fill is the gravel bed of the railroad. The Rainier building is in the Southcenter South Industrial Park. The 125-foot shoreline buffer cuts through the building and extends about 14'-6" landward of the building on the NW corner. The north side of the building is set -back roughly 30-feet from the property line so there is about 435 square feet of land on the north side of the building that is within the 125-foot buffer but the project in question starts 50-feet south of the NW corner and will not involve this area. This 435 square feet is in a more or less natural state that has seen little change since the building was built (roughly 25-years). The river curves away from the south side of the Rainier building so the SW corner of the building is not within the 125-feet buffer area. The SW corner of the Rainier property has a display area that is triangular in shape. About 3/ of the display are is within 125-feet of the river. The display area was installed in 2008 under the City of Tukwila permit number L08-024. It is landscaped with natural vegetation per the approved plan. The proposed fill project is north of the display area and does not impact it. 2. How will your project change the existing condition of the shoreline described above? The proposed project will have no impact on the river side of the levee. All of the proposed work is on the landward side of the levee. The purpose of the project is to add a paved strip along the back of the Rainier building that is level with the factory floor and will allow Rainier to transfer materials, outside the building, from the roll -up door on the existing loading dock to the roll -up door about 300-feet to the north. To accomplish this, Rainier proposes to add fill between the building and the levee. The factory floor is 42" to 48" above the abandoned railroad bed and the top of the levee is a little over 5-feet above the factory floor. The proposed plan is to add fill between the building and the levee then add a 14-foot wide paved lane against the building that connects the existing doors. There will be a security fence, similar to the other fencing on the Rainier property, along the edge of the paved strip. The proposed fill will be on the landward side of the levee and will provide a structural benefit to the levee. The proposed fill material is the sand that is currently in temporary flood containment bags at the top of the levee. When the bags are removed and the pedestrian path is restored to its original condition, some of the sand from the wall will be used for the fill in this project. A geotechnical report has prepared by Terra Associates, Inc. (TAI) Samples of the proposed sand were taken and tests performed. TAI has provided the necessary procedure for preparing the fill to insure that it will adequately compacted to support the proposed paved strip along the building. The report from TIA confirms the fill will allow adequate infiltration and distribution of rain water as it is currently naturally absorbed into the ground. 3. Please respond to the questions in the following chart - A No Net Loss analysis (prepared by a qualified biologist) must be prepared if the response to any of the questions in the chart below is "yes": WILL THE PROJECT: NO YES a. Alter/remove vegetation in the shoreline jurisdiction? X b. Alter the river bank (i.e. re -slope bank, add armoring etc.)? X c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction? X d. Discharge new stormwater to the river? X e. Store or use hazardous materials in the shoreline jurisdiction? X f. Construct an in- or over -water structure? X g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction? X NOTE: The questions below are addressed in a separate document prepared by David Teesdale; Ecologist/VVetland Ecologist of Talasaea Consultants, Inc. The Talasaea document provides a scientific response to each question. The lay responses below from Rainier are intended to provide the reviewers of this application with additional perspective understanding the scope and intent of this project. Responses to No Net Loss Chart: c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction. The fill will cover existing gravel railroad bed. No wildlife habitat will be lost due to adding this fill. The scope of the project includes adding trees and shrubbery which will create a wildlife habitat, of natural vegetation, along the length of this proposed fill project. g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction. A relatively small part of the project involves adding a paved strip along the west side of the building to allow transfer of inventory and materials from door to door. Water draining off this paved strip will drain to the area where the native vegetation will be added. This vegetation will provide habitat and provide a visual screen to the fence and building for people walking on the trail that is on top of the levee. Any runoff from the paved strip that is not absorbed into the root systems of the new trees and shrubs will infiltrate down through the fill into the ground where the old railroad bed was and be absorbed into the earth as it currently is. 4. The way to achieve no net loss of ecological function is to mitigate the loss through one or a combination of the mitigation sequencing steps identified below. If preparing a No Net Loss analysis, please discuss how your project addresses the following mitigation sequencing steps (TMC 18.44.070 H..3): This project is proposed where there is a recently vacated railroad. No existing wildlife habitat will be displaced in the filling of this area. Rainier plans to add native plantings, per the plan provided by KLLA Landscaping Architects, Inc., as mitigation sequencing to provide wildlife habitat where none currently exists. The addition of this native vegetation will also dramatically enhance the visual appearance of the Rainier property from the levee trail. a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; Again, the existing railroad bed provides no appreciable wildlife habitat and look terrible from the levee trail. The railroad tracks were just removed within the last year. Adding this fill and the native planting will be a means to transform this area into an environment that provides visual screening to the back of the Rainier building and a habitat for wildlife. b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; The work is intended to be done as quickly as possible and in the late summer/early spring. It will be done at the same time as the temporary flood containment wall is removed. There should be little or no additional disturbance to local wildlife during the execution of the project. c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitation, or restoring the affected environment; Since the Poplar trees were removed from the levee, by the city, this area no longer provides a natural environment for wildlife. This project will restore the area where the old railroad bed is to a much more natural environment. The scope of the project includes adding native plantings where none currently exist so there will be a substantial net gain of wildlife habitat. d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; A key requirement of this project is to leave a minimum of 15-feet of clear and unobstructed ground between the new Rainier fence and the landward levee toe. This requirement is to provide municipal access for periodic levee inspection and is a requirement for local municipalities to apply for federal funding to maintain the levee. The proposed plan it to keep a minimum of 15-feet of clearance between the native plantings on the west side of the new fence and the levee toe. After the native plantings become established, they will need no maintenance. During the first several years, while the new plants are establishing themselves, Rainier will be responsible for insuring they get enough water and basic care. Over time, the plants will establish themselves, and the only planned maintenance will be to keep them trimmed away from the fence and the 15-foot clear area. All of the other landscaping on the Rainier property is professionally maintained and this area will be as well. Also, the addition of this fill on the landward side of the levee will provide backing to the levee and reduce the landward levee slope area. The strengthening of the levee should reduce future maintenance requirements of the levee. e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and There is no shrubbery being displaced by the addition of this fill. The area is a railroad bed that was designed and maintained to provide freight deliveries to the backs of the buildings along the river. The addition of this fill and native planting will be a dramatic enhancement of the area from its current condition. It will be a natural draw to future wildlife where there is currently no habitat. As mentioned above, the addition of this belt of trees and shrubs along the back of the Rainier building will be much more visually pleasing to people walking along the levee trail. f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taping appropriate corrective measures. This plan does not call for any monitoring. The affected area is small and will enhance the existing habitat along this reach of the river. Birds, rabbits, and other critters will eventually move into this area as there will be little human activity in the area where plantings will be located. The typical access for the levee inspections is done along the levee trail. It is not anticipated that any of the various municipalities use the 13-foot clear zone on the landward side of the levee unless there is an actual levee maintenance project. City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor • Department of Community Development Jack Pace, Director MEMORANDUM July 16, 2012 To: Jack Pace, Director Fin: Carol Lumb, Sen10 lanner Re: Project File No. E12-005 Rainier Industries - Project Description: The proposed project is to utilize approximately 1,600 cu. yds. of sand from decommissioned Hesco Units to fill behind the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 205 certified levee in an area formerly containing railroad tracks. The Hesco Units served as supplemental flood containment walls along the Green River while repairs to the Howard Hanson Dam were undertaken from 2009 to 2012. The fill will be placed along the west side of the building, approximately four feet deep and thirty-two feet wide. The fill will raise the ground level between the building and the levee making it even with the factory floor. Each end of the filled area will be sloped back to the existing grade at approximately 1:15 slope. The raising of the ground level outside the building will allow the movement of product safely and securely between the various production departments from outside the building, which will avoid the pedestrian safety conflicts currently existing inside the building. The filled area will also provide access to the levee. The applicant is required to keep a 15 foot area measured from the toe of the back side of the levee clear of all vegetation for COE levee inspection. The Rainier Industries building is located approximately 30 feet from the landward toe of the levee. Rainier proposes to add four feet of clean fill between the building and the levee that would raise the ground level to roughly even with the factory floor. The proposal also includes paving a 14-foot wide strip along the rear of the building so inventory can be moved from door to door along the west side of the building. The paved strip will be fenced for security. The first 15 feet from the landward toe of the levee will be kept clear for municipal access/levee inspection and maintenance, as requested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). A planting strip will be provided outside the fenced area for habitat purposes. The COE does not permit landscaping in the 15 foot access area.

The geotechnical report indicates that the soils sampled are silty sand, which showed a high fines content. The fill will cover roughly 14,500 sq. ft. of the area between the building and the levee. The area proposed for paving totals approximately 5,340 sq. ft. Temporary erosion and sedimentation control (TESL) measures will be implemented prior to the distribution of the fill on the site, including catch basin protection, silt control fences and other best management practices. The geotechnical report recommends that the TESC plans route construction stormwater to a location other than the permanent infiltration site. CPL Page 2 of 6 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier IndustriesT12-005 SEPA Staff rpt. E12-005 Rainier Industries SEPA Staff Report July 17, 2012 Air During the placement of the fill, there will be temporary vehicle and construction equipment emissions will be released. No dust is an anticipated to be generated. There will be a net decrease in emissions since the Hesco Units will not need to be removed and trucked to a disposal location — the fill inside the units will be used on -site. After construction, emissions typical of forklift -type equipment can be expected at the site. Water The Green River borders the site on the west on the west side of the 205 COE certified levee which runs across the rear of the property. No work will take place immediately adjacent to the river — the levee will prevent any fill material from entering the river. The project does not involve the discharge of any waste materials to the surface waters. Storm water run-off will be infiltrated on -site. Plants The rear of the building is industrial in character, with the area formerly occupied by the railroad tracks now containing gravel. The Corps of Engineers does not permit vegetation on the levee or fifteen (15) feet from the landward toe of the levee. The project will project a planting strip ranging in size from 4' 7" to 12 feet along the fence that will run the length of the filled area behind the building, approximately 300 feet. The plantings will be native plants, including Douglas Fir and shore pine along with native shrubs and groundcover. Comments were received from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe on the proposed plant material — the City concurs with the Tribe's recommended substitutions. See below for a discussion of the comments. Animals The site is adjacent to the Green River, which is a migratory route for Chinook, Chum, Coho, Pink, Steelhead, and Cuthroat Salmon and Bull Trout. The site is also on the route of the Pacific Flyway, a migratory bird route. Energy/Natural Resources The completed project will not use energy once the fill distribution is complete. During the placement of the fill, construction vehicles will use diesel or gasoline to fuel the vehicles. Lighting currently exists on the outside of the building — this lighting will remain. CPL Page 3 of 6 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier IndustriesT12-005 SEPA Staff rpt. E12-005 Rainier Industries SEPA Staff Report July 17, 2012 Environmental Health The site is located in an industrial area with the noises associated with industrial activity. After the fill is placed and the area paved for use by the fork lifts, there will be occasional noise from the movement of the fork lifts. Land/Shoreline Uses The site is adjacent to the Green River, in an area of Southcenter designated Commercial/Light Industrial This area is characterized by concrete tilt -up factory/warehouse-type buildings. The Rainier Industry building is approximately 132,367 sq. ft. in size. The proposed project will place four feet of fill along approximately 400 feet of the rear of the Rainier Industries building. The total building length is approximately 600 feet. The placement of the fill will allow the pavement of a fourteen (14) foot wide strip along the back of the building, which will allow Rainier to transfer materials outside the building from the roll -up door on the existing loading dock to the roll -up door approximately 300 feet to the north. There will be a security fence, similar to other fencing on the property along the paved strip. Allowing the transfer of materials outside the building will improve safety inside the existing building, where currently there are conflicts between moving equipment and factory workers. An area approximately 3,800 sq. ft. will be planted with native plants, along the security fencing. Approximately 5,400 sq. ft. of new impervious surface will be added to the site through the paving of the 14 foot wide strip behind the building. Run-off from the new impervious surface will be directed to the fill area for infiltration. Housing Not applicable. Aesthetics Not applicable — no structures are being constructed. The addition of the planting strip will improve the appearance of the rear of the building. Light/Glare No significant glare will be generated by the proposed development as lighting will be limited to the existing fixtures mounted on the warehouse/office building. Recreation Not applicable. The site abuts the Green River Trail, which runs along the top of the levee. The fill will not impact the use of the trail.

E12-005 Rainier Industries SEPA Staff Report July 17, 2012 Historic/Cultural Preservation No excavation will take place on the site — approximately 1,600 cu. yds. of fill will be placed on top of an area that formerly contained railroad tracks. Transportation The site is accessed via Olympic Avenue South, located in the south end of Southcenter. The placement of the fill will have no impact on the existing street network that serves the factory. Public Services The placement of the fill will not impact the provision of public services currently provided to the building. Utilities Utilities currently available at the site include electric, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, storm water and sanitary sewer. Adequate utilities are available to serve the new warehouse/office building. Comments Received Comments were received from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe on July 11, 2012. The comments are provided below, with a response from the City following. "We have reviewed the application materials for the Rainier Industries fill proposal along the Green River at 18375 Olympic Avenue South. We have some questions and initial comments as noted below: The project proposes to fill and gravel/pave an area that is approximately 400 feet long and 33'8" wide to the toe of the existing levee (see Sheet P3.30). The concrete paved portion of this fill area is shown to be 14' wide per Sheets P3.10, 3.20 and 3.30. Is there a way to reduce this width of paved area to allow for more trees to be planted in the 4'6" designated planting strip to meet the project objects and avoid the 15' levee setback area? As you know, the Green River in this reach is listed on the State's 303(d) list for water temperature impairment and tall trees are needed to shade the river to the fullest extent possible. Per the application materials, mature poplars were removed as part of the temporary sandbag project, leaving a portion of the site without tall trees. More tall trees will improve shading conditions over time in this area lost due to removal of the poplar trees." Cily Response: The 14' wide area to be paved is the minimum needed to allow the forklift to maneuver safely, particularly to turn around. Since the COE increased the amount of area that needs to be kept clear (now 15 feet when it used to be 10), it reduced the area available for planting. CPL Page 5 of 6 07/16/2012 HA\Rainier Industries\E12-005 SEPA Staff rpt. E12-005 Rainier Industries SEPA Staff Report July 17, 2012 "2. Per Sheet 2.40, the project is proposing to plant 12 Western Red Cedars in the planting strip. We are concerned that this moisture loving, shade dependent tree species will not survive at this location. Instead, we recommend that they be replaced with other native conifer species such as Douglas Fir. Big leave maple may also be suitable species at this site. See http://green.kin cg� ounty.gov/GoNative/Plant.aspx?Act=list" City Response: The City concurs and will require this change in the landscape plan as part of the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit. "3. Also per Sheet 2.40, is it possible to replace some of the proposed shrubs with more trees? Again more trees means more potential shade for the Green River in this location and will help reduce some of the ambient air temperatures from the building and paved areas." City Response: We believe it is possible to add 4-5 more trees in the wider planting areas in lieu of some of the shrubs and will be requiring this revision in the landscaping plan as part of the shoreline substantial development permit. Given how far back this area is from the river (approximately 80-90 feet) there won't be much shading of the river when the trees are mature, however, the vegetation will provide other important habitat benefits.

It addresses our concerns for the most part; however, we were hoping for a revision to increase the planted width. Given the forklift safety needs, it doesn't appear that this is possible.

We have some ques ; and initial comments as noted below: 1. The project proposes to fill and gravel/pave an area that is approximately 400 feet long and 33'8" wide to the toe of the existing levee (see Sheet P3.30). The concrete paved portion of this fill area is shown to be 14' wide per Sheets P3.10, 3.20 and 3.30. Is there a way to reduce this width of paved area to allow for more trees to be planted in the 4'6" designated planting strip to meet the project objects and avoid the 15' levee setback area? As you know, the Green River in this reach is listed on the State's 303(d) list for water temperature impairment and tall trees are needed to shade the river to the fullest extent possible. Per the application materials, mature poplars were removed as part of the temporary sandbag project, leaving a portion of the site without tall trees. More tall trees will improve shading conditions over time in this area lost due to removal of the poplar trees. ;Response: The 14' wide area to be paved is the minimum needed to allow the forklift to maneuver safely, particularly to turn around. Since the COE increased the amount of area that needs to be kept clear (now 1S feet when it used to be 10), it reduced the area available for planting; 2. Per Sheet 2.40, the project is proposing to plant 12 Western Red Cedars in the planting strip. We are concerned that this moisture loving, shade dependent tree species will not survive at this location. Instead, we recommend that they be replaced with other native conifer species such as Douglas Fir. Big leave maple may also be suitable species at this site. See http://green.kingcounty.gov/GoNative/Plant.aspx?Act=list Response: We agree and will be requiring this change in the landscape plan. 3. Also per Sheet 2.40, is it possible to replace some of the proposed shrubs with more trees? Again more trees means more potential shade for the Green River in this location and will help reduce some of the ambient air temperatures from the building and paved areas. Response: We believe it is possible to add 4-5 more trees in the wider planting areas in lieu of some of the shrubs and will be requiring this revision in the landscaping plan. Given how far back this area is from the river (approximately 80-90 feet) there won't be much shading of the river _when the _ trees are mature, however, the vegetation will provide other important habitat benefits' We appreciate the opportunity to review this proposal and look forward to the City's responses. We may additional comments subsequently.

Given that some of the planting strip areas are very narrow (4'6" at the narrowest point), maybe planting Western Red Cedar in the narrower sections of the planting strip is not a good idea for the long term health of the trees. Keeping the cedars in check so that they do not interfere with site operations or the fence and with the 15 ft levy access area could require significant pruning and long term harm as the trees grow. The tree roots could also eventually impact the paving. Maybe the applicant could consider using shore pine (or another alternative) in the narrower areas, reserving the cedar for the wider spots (over 7 feet). 2. There is no detail for soil preparation. Given that the site was previously a railroad track, and that fill will consist of sand, adequate preparation of the planting area is crucial for plant health and survival. This means preparing the entire planting bed with sufficient organic material and sufficient depth for good tree and shrub growth. Good soil will also help with infiltrating surface water. Good soil preparation specifications should be included. 3. Given that most of the plantings are woodland type plants, the Kinninnick (which likes full sun) will be shaded out. Another, shade tolerant native groundcover should be used. Also, two foot spacing is too wide for groundcover spacing —1 foot is the maximum acceptable spacing to ensure good coverage for a low growing groundcover. Also, 4 inches of mulch is not conducive to groundcover spread. Maybe could consider using sword ferns instead. 4. Deciduous and -Coniferous Tree Planting Details — a. Trees should not be staked. b. Clarify that all burlap, wire baskets or other, materials be removed prior to planting. c. No J roots, no circling roots, no root in rootball greater than 1/10 of trunk diameter. 5. Specifications for Western Red Cedar should include root ball diameters of between 20 and 22 inches for that height of tree, and that the trunk is in the center of the root ball, and that the root ball depth is not less than 60% of the rootball diameter. Also the root flare must be visible. 6. Buffer Groundcover, Shrub and Tree Planting detail: a. Delete reference to removal of existing sod, as entire planting strip is to be prepared for planting. b. Mulch should be within 2 to 3 inches of trunks/crowns (except for low growing groundcovers) c. Roots shall be loosened prior to planting. No circling roots, plants shall not be root bound. d. Make it clear that plants are to be installed so that top of root ball is level with ground surface. 7. Clarify how plants will be irrigated until established (2 to 3 dry seasons) and also contractor's responsibility for watering.

Specifically, this is item B.2.b on the SSDP application materials checklist. A No Net Loss Analysis is required when answering "yes" to one or more of the questions in the table under question 3 of the No Net Loss Checklist. The proposed Rainier Industries project requires a "yes" answer to two of the five questions in this table. This document shall serve as an attachment to the SSDP application submittal package. We have included the questions from the No Net Loss Checklist Below in italics for ease of review. Our responses follow. Note that the applicant has provided responses for questions 1 and 2 separately as part of their SSDP application submittal. This document only provides a response to questions 3 & 4, pursuant to the City's requirement that the No Net Loss Analysis be prepared by a qualified biologist. No Net Loss Checklist Describe the existing condition of the shoreline area and riverbank. For example, what plants and how much vegetation currently exist within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction; what is the condition of the shoreline (how steep are the banks, is there any erosion or slope failure, what are the soils like); is there "hard armoring" on the riverbank (for example, concrete or wooden bulkheads, metal sheet piling, rip -rap [rocks or concrete/asphalt blocks]), is there paving or are there any structures within the 200 ft, shoreline jurisdiction; are there any docks, piers, decks or other structures near or over the water; are there any above -ground or below ground utilities; etc. ?

How will your project change the existing condition of the shoreline described above? Answer provided by applicant in SSDP application package. 3. Please respond to the questions in the following chart - A No Net Loss analysis (prepared by a qualified biologist) must be prepared if the response to any of the questions in the chart below is "yes": WILL THE PROJECT: NO YES a. Alter/remove vegetation in the shoreline jurisdiction? X b. Alter the river bank (i.e. re -slope bank, add armoring etc.)? X c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction? X d. Discharge new stormwater to the river? X e. Store or use hazardous materials in the shoreline jurisdiction? X f. Construct an in- or over -water structure? X g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction? X c. The project proposes to add approximately 1,661 cy of fill on the west side of the existing Rainier Industries building, which is landward of the existing levee. The proposed new fill will abut the base of the levee, and will be placed in the existing depression of the old railroad grade in order to create a level area behind the Rainier Industries building: The. fill material will be sourced from the existing temporary sandbags currently located on top of the levee that were installed by King County. The sand fill used in the .sandbags was originally sourced through cooperation with Federal, State, and local agencies. in response to potential catastrophic flooding dangers on the Green River. g. A new, approximately 5,500 sf asphalt strip will be added behind the Rainier Industries building that will utilize a portion of the filled railroad grade and will provide additional access to the rear of the building. While the asphalt strip will be impervious, the sand used to create the final grade will not be completely incased in impervious material and will retain the existing drainage functions currently present. These functions include natural infiltration capabilities of the existing soil and stormwater drainage pipes and catchbasins along the west side of the Rainier Industries building. Note: See project plans prepared by Rainier Industries, Sheets P1.00 through P4.00, for a depiction of the proposed fill and paving.

The way to achieve no net loss of ecological function is to mitigate the loss through one or a combination of the mitigation sequencing steps identified below. If preparing a No Net Loss analysis, please discuss how your project addresses the following mitigation sequencing steps (TMC 18.44.070 H.3.): a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. No Net Loss Analysis a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action: The proposed project will substantially avoid all direct impacts to the natural ecological processes of the shoreline environment. It will not directly impact existing vegetation, habitat, critical species, or hydrologic processes. All proposed project work will occur landward of the existing levee in an area that is currently relatively unvegetated (former rail road bed). No work is proposed on the levee itself or on the levee slope adjacent to the Green/Duwamish River. None of the proposed work will occur within or adjacent to the ordinary high water mark of the Green/Duwamish River. The work area consists of the approximately 30' strip of land between the toe of the levee slope and the west side of the Rainier Industries building. This strip of land served as a railway corridor for many years, and so is currently highly disturbed. The railway tracks have been removed, leaving a primarily gravel and dirt surface that is mostly non -vegetated, with the exception of scattered weeds and grasses. This area has Kittle to no habitat value. Therefore, limiting the proposed work to this existing highly disturbed area will allow the project to substantially avoid any direct impacts to the functional shoreline environment. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts: The proposed project will minimize any temporary impacts, such as noise from . construction equipment, by completing the work within a short period of time. The work is proposed to be completed at the time the temporary sandbags are removed from the Levee by the County, either in later summer or early spring. Furthermore, because the project site is separated from the river by the existing levee, temporary indirect impacts to the river environment, such as noise, will be minimized by the Resource & Environmental Planning 15020 Bear Creek Road Northeast 9 Woodinville, Washington 98077 • Bus: (425)861-7550 Fax: (425)861-7549 Ms. Carol Lumb 12 June 2012 Page 4 of 5 presence of the levee. The project will implement Best Management Practices, as required by the approved grading plans, to provide temporary erosion and sediment control during the construction process. c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment. - Because no direct impacts to existing high -quality habitats or ecological processes are proposed or anticipated, no "in -kind" restoration is possible or definable for this project. However, as part of the planned work, the project proposes to restore a 3,050 sf portion of the project area with native trees and shrubs (see Landscape Plan, Sheet P2.40, for a proposed planting plan and plant schedule). These plantings will be installed in a strip between the proposed paving adjacent to the building and the levee maintenance access path at the toe of the levee slope. These plantings will provide an enhancement to the ecological processes of the shoreline environment, which will include the following benefits: 1) Wildlife Habitat: The new plantings will provide woody vegetative cover where none previously existed, which will provide refuge, habitat, and food sources for birds and small mammals. 2) Stormwater Attenuation: The new plantings will help to attenuate stormwater runoff from the new paved area. All runoff from the new paved surfaces will drain to the native planting strip where it will be fully infiltrated into the soil. 3) Hydrology Benefits: Runoff will be fully infiltrated, helping to recharge groundwater and maintain river base flow. 4) Water Quality Benefits: Runoff will be filtered as it slowly percolates through the soil and plant root systems. 5) Shoreline Buffer: The proposed trees and shrubs will help to buffer the shoreline of the Green/Duwamish River from activities on the developed areas of the project site. Existing cottonwood trees on the back of the levee slope were recently cut down, as required by the Corps of Engineers to maintain Federal certification of the levee. As the new native trees and shrubs mature, they will help to replace the physical buffer these cottonwood trees provided to the shoreline environment. 6) Screening: Although not a direct ecological benefit, the proposed native plantings will provide screening of the proposed fence, and partial screening of the Rainier Industries building, as they mature. This will benefit users of the levee trail and will increase the value of this portion of the Green/Duwamish River corridor as a public green space. d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; The project area will be maintained over time as follows: The new native plantings will be maintained by the applicant/owner to ensure proper establishment over the first several years of growth. This will include providing sufficient water (a minimum of 1" per week during the dry season) by either a temporary irrigation system or hand watering, removing weeds, straightening plants and staking as necessary, replenishing mulch, and replacing dead plants as necessary. If certain species are found to not be thriving at the planting site, species substitutions of equivalent native Resource & Environmental Planning 15020 Bear Creek Road Northeast • Woodinville, Washington 98077 • Bus: (425)861-7550 Fax: (425)861-7549 Ms. Carol Lumb 12 June 2012 Page 5 of 5 species (i.e. equivalent in form and function) may be made to ensure the survival of replacement plants. After the plantings have become established, the applicant/owner will maintain the plantings in a natural state; they will not be maintained as ornamental landscaping, e.g., shrubs and trees will not be mechanically sheared. Only minimal pruning will be done periodically to keep the security fenceline adjacent to the new paving strip clear, and to maintain a 15-foot access path at the toe of the levee slope, as required by the City. The applicant/owner will provide permanent periodic maintenance to keep the native planting area free of trash, debris, and invasive species. This long-term maintenance may also include the occasional replacement of plants, as necessary, to maintain the native vegetation restoration area in a healthy, fully vegetated condition to maintain ecological function. These maintenance measures will serve to continually enhance and preserve the ecological benefits of the native vegetation restoration area. e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and As discussed in mitigation sequencing step "a" above, no direct impacts to existing habitats or ecological processes are proposed or anticipated, so no "in -kind" substitution or direct replacement of resources is possible. Proposed ecological enhancement measures are described in item "c" above. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. The proposed native vegetation restoration area will be monitored in perpetuity by the applicant/owner to ensure it maintains its intended ecological functions. See item "d" above for a description of proposed maintenance measures. We trust that the above responses will satisfy the requirements of the SSDP No Net Loss Analysis for this project.

Provide: a) See the.attached plan sheets illustrating compliance with Review Guidelines. b) No Net Loss Checklist 1. Describe the existing condition of the shoreline area and riverbank For example, what plants and how much vegetation currently exist within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction; what is the condition of the shoreline (how steep are the banks, is there any erosion or slope failure, what are the soils like); is there "hard armoring" on the riverbank (for example, concrete or wooden bulkheads, metal sheet piling, rip -rap [rocks or concrete/asphalt blocks]), is there paving or are there any structures within the 200 ft. shoreline jurisdiction; are there any docks, piers, decks or other structures near or over the water; are there any above -ground or below ground utilities; etc. ? This project, as proposed, will be approximately 400-feet along the river. In this area the river path is defined by the levee. The riverbank (river side of the levee) is lush with native vegetation which is overgrown and thriving. The riverbank does not appear to show any signs of erosion or slope failure and it is monitored and maintained by the city and county and certified by the US Army Corps of Engineers. This proposed project will have no impact on the river shoreline, river, vegetation along the riverbank, fish, fish habitat, etc. The site is already developed with an urban use. The proposed project will improve the existing state of the non- conforming railroad bed on the landward side of the levee. The area of the proposed fill is between the west side of the Rainier building and the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 600-feet long and the Rainier property is roughly 725-feet long. The fill proposed for this project will be about 400-feet long total. Current condition of the 125-foot buffer area along Rainier's property: The river side of the levee is a thriving natural area that is lush with native vegetation. There are no bulkheads, metal piling, rip -rap, or structures anywhere along the river in this area. The public access path along the top of the levee has been replaced with a temporary sandbag flood containment wall for the last couple of years and is in a state of apparent neglect. The landward slope of the levee is covered primarily with native grass and appears to be stable with no signs of sagging or erosion. When the sandbags were added to the top of the levee, a row of mature Poplar trees were cut down from the landward side of the levee. The stumps and root systems are the only dominate features on the landward side of the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 30-feet from the landward levee toe and runs more or less parallel to the levee. The 30-feet of ground between the building and the levee is mostly flat and is the bed of the abandoned BN railroad. The tracks have been removed and the area of the proposed fill is the gravel bed of the railroad. The Rainier building is in the Southcenter South Industrial Park. The 125-foot shoreline buffer cuts through the building and extends about 14'-6" landward of the building on the NW corner. The north side of the building is set -back roughly 30-feet from the property line so there is about 435 square feet of land on the north side of the building that is within the 125-foot buffer but the project in question starts 50-feet south of the NW corner and will not involve this area. This 435 square feet is in a more or less natural state that has seen little change since the building was built (roughly 25-years). The river curves away from the south side of the Rainier building so the SW corner of the building is not within the 125-feet buffer area. The SW corner of the Rainier property has a display area that is triangular in shape. About 3/ of the display are is within 125-feet of the river. The display area was installed in 2008 under the City of Tukwila permit number L08-024. It is landscaped with natural vegetation per the approved plan. The proposed fill project is north of the display area and does not impact it. 2. How will your project change the existing condition of the shoreline described above? The proposed project will have no impact on the river side of the levee. All of the proposed work is on the landward side of the levee. The purpose of the project is to add a paved strip along the back of the Rainier building that is level with the factory floor and will allow Rainier to transfer materials, outside the building, from the roll -up door on the existing loading dock to the roll -up door about 300-feet to the north. To accomplish this, Rainier proposes to add fill between the building and the levee. The factory floor is 42" to 48" above the abandoned railroad bed and the top of the levee is a little over 5-feet above the factory floor. The proposed plan is to add fill between the building and the levee then add a 14-foot wide paved lane against the building that connects the existing doors. There will be a security fence, similar to the other fencing on the Rainier property, along the edge of the paved strip. The proposed fill will be on the landward side of the levee and will provide a structural benefit to the levee. The proposed fill material is the sand that is currently in temporary flood containment bags at the top of the levee. When the bags are removed and the pedestrian path is restored to its original condition, some of the sand from the wall will be used for the fill in this project. A geotechnical report has prepared by Terra Associates, Inc. (TAI) Samples of the proposed sand were taken and tests performed. TAI has provided the necessary procedure for preparing the fill to insure that it will adequately compacted to support the proposed paved strip along the building. The report from TIA confirms the fill will allow adequate infiltration and distribution of rain water as it is currently naturally absorbed into the ground. 3. Please respond to the questions in the following chart - A No Net Loss analysis (prepared by a qualified biologist) must be prepared if the response to any of the questions in the chart below is "yes": WILL THE PROJECT: NO YES a. Alter/remove vegetation in the shoreline jurisdiction? X b. Alter the river bank i.e. re -slope bank, add armoring etc.)? X c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction? X d. Discharge new stormwater to the river? X e. Store or use hazardous materials in the shoreline jurisdiction? X f. Construct an in- or over -water structure? X g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction? X NOTE: The questions below are addressed in a separate document prepared by David Teesdale; EcologistiWetland Ecologist of Talasaea Consultants, Inc. The Talasaea document provides a scientific response to each question. The lay responses below from Rainier are intended to provide the reviewers of this application with additional perspective understanding the scope and intent of this project. Responses to No Net Loss Chart: c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction. The fill will cover existing gravel railroad bed. No wildlife habitat will be lost due to adding this fill. The scope of the project includes adding trees and shrubbery which will create a wildlife habitat, of natural vegetation, along the length of this proposed fill project. g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction. A relatively small part of the project involves adding a paved strip along the west side of the building to allow transfer of inventory and materials from door to door. Water draining off this paved strip will drain to the area where the native vegetation will be added. This vegetation will provide habitat and provide a visual screen to the fence and building for people walking on the trail that is on top of the levee. Any runoff from the paved strip that is not absorbed into the root systems of the new trees and shrubs will infiltrate down through the fill into the ground where the old railroad bed was and be absorbed into the earth as it currently is. 4. The way to achieve no net loss of ecological function is to mitigate the loss through one or a combination of the mitigation sequencing steps identified below. If preparing a No Net Loss analysis, please discuss how your project addresses the following mitigation sequencing steps (TMC 18. 44. 070 H. 3): This project is proposed where there is a recently vacated railroad. No existing wildlife habitat will be displaced in the filling of this area. Rainier plans to add native plantings, per the plan provided by KLLA Landscaping Architects, Inc., as mitigation sequencing to provide wildlife habitat where none currently exists. The addition of this native vegetation will also dramatically enhance the visual appearance of the Rainier property from the levee trail. a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; Again, the existing railroad bed provides no appreciable wildlife habitat and look terrible from the levee trail. The railroad tracks were just removed within the last year. Adding this fill and the native planting will be a means to transform this area into an environment that provides visual screening to the back of the Rainier building and a habitat for wildlife. b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; The work is intended to be done as quickly as possible and in the late summer/early spring. It will be done at the same time as the temporary flood containment wall is removed. There should be little or no additional disturbance to local wildlife during the execution of the project. c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitation, or restoring the affected environment; Since the Poplar trees were removed from the levee, by the city, this area no longer provides a natural environment for wildlife. This project will restore the area where the old railroad bed is to a much more natural environment. The scope of the project includes adding native plantings where none currently exist so there will be a substantial net gain of wildlife habitat. d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; A key requirement of this project is to leave a minimum of 15-feet of clear and unobstructed ground between the new Rainier fence and the landward levee toe. This requirement is to provide municipal access for periodic levee inspection and is a requirement for local municipalities to apply for federal funding to maintain the levee. The proposed plan it to keep a minimum of 15-feet of clearance between the native plantings on the west side of the new fence and the levee toe. After the native plantings become established, they will need no maintenance. During the first several years, while the new plants are establishing themselves, Rainier will be responsible for insuring they get enough water and basic care. Over time, the plants will establish themselves, and the only planned maintenance will be to keep them trimmed away from the fence and the 15-foot clear area. All of the other landscaping on the Rainier property is professionally maintained and this area will be as well. Also, the addition of this fill on the landward side of the levee will provide backing to the levee and reduce the landward levee slope area. The strengthening of the levee should reduce future maintenance requirements of the levee. e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and There is no shrubbery being displaced by the addition of this fill. The area is a railroad bed that was designed and maintained to provide freight deliveries to the backs of the buildings along the river. The addition of this fill and native planting will be a dramatic enhancement of the area from its current condition. It will be a natural draw to future wildlife where there is currently no habitat. As mentioned above, the addition of this belt of trees and shrubs along the back of the Rainier building will be much more visually pleasing to people walking along the levee trail. f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. This plan does not call for any monitoring. The affected area is small and will enhance the existing habitat along this reach of the river. Birds, rabbits, and other critters will eventually move into this area as there will be little human activity in the area where plantings will be located. The typical access for the levee inspections is done along the levee trail. It is not anticipated that any of the various municipalities use the 13-foot clear zone on the landward side of the levee unless there is an actual levee maintenance project. .i" NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR SEPA DETERMINATION and SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT For Rainier Industries DATED June 13, 2012 The following applications have been submitted to the City of Tukwila Department of Community Development for review and decision. APPLICANT: Bruce Blunt, for Rainier Industries LOCATION: 18375 Olympic Avenue South, Tukwila, WA 98188 Parcel #788890-0130 FILE NUMBERS: E12-005 (SEPA); L12-016 (Shoreline Substantial Development Permit) PROPOSAL: To utilize approximately 1,600 cu. yds. of sand from decommissioned Hesco Units to fill behind the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 205 certified levee in an area formerly containing railroad tracks. The Hesco Units served as supplemental flood containment walls along the Green River while repairs to the Howard Hanson Dam were undertaken from 2009 to 2012. The fill will be placed along the west side of the building, approximately four feet deep and thirty-two feet wide. The fill will raise the ground level between the building and the levee making it even with the factory floor. Each end of the filled area will be sloped back to the existing grade at approximately 1:15 slope. The raising of the ground level outside the building will allow the movement of product safely and securely between the various production departments from outside the building, which will avoid the pedestrian safety conflicts currently existing inside the building. The filled area will also provide access to the levee. The applicant is required to keep a 15 foot area measured from the toe of the back side of the levee clear of all vegetation for COE levee inspection.

B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ANALYSIS AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS: 1. Vicinity Map Attached "Vicinity Map" 2. Provide: a) See the attached plan sheets illustrating compliance with Review Guidelines. b) No Net Loss Checklist 1. Describe the existing condition of the shoreline area and riverbank For example, what plants and how much vegetation currently exist within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction; what is the condition of the shoreline (how steep are the banks, is there any erosion or slope failure, what are the soils like); is there "hard armoring" on the riverbank (for example, concrete or wooden bulkheads, metal sheet piling, rip -rap [rocks or concrete/asphalt blocks]), is there paving or are there any structures within the 200 ft. shoreline jurisdiction; are there any docks, piers, decks or other structures near or over the water; are there any above -ground or below ground utilities; etc.? This project, as proposed, will be approximately 400-feet along the river. In this area the river path is defined by the levee. The riverbank (river side of the levee) is lush with native vegetation which is overgrown and thriving. The riverbank does not appear to show any signs of erosion or slope failure and it is monitored and maintained by the city and county and certified by the US Army Corps of Engineers. This proposed project will have no impact on the river shoreline, river, vegetation along the riverbank, fish, fish habitat, etc. The site is already developed with an urban use. The proposed project will improve the existing state of the non- conforming railroad bed on the landward side of the levee. The area of the proposed fill is between the west side of the Rainier building and the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 600-feet long and the Rainier property is roughly 725-feet long. The fill proposed for this project will be about 400-feet long total. Current condition of the 125-foot buffer area along Rainier's property: The river side of the levee is a thriving natural area that is lush with native vegetation. There are no bulkheads, metal piling, rip -rap, or structures anywhere along the river in this area. The public access path along the top of the levee has been replaced with a temporary sandbag flood containment wall for the last couple of years and is in a state of apparent neglect. The landward slope of the levee is covered primarily with native grass and appears to be stable with no signs of sagging or erosion. When the sandbags were added to the top of the levee, a row of mature Poplar trees were cut down from the landward side of the levee. The stumps and root systems are the only dominate features on the landward side of the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 30-feet from the landward levee toe and runs more or less parallel to the levee. The 30-feet of ground between the building and the levee is mostly flat and is the bed of the abandoned BN railroad. The tracks have been removed and the area of the proposed fill is the gravel bed of the railroad. The Rainier building is in the Southcenter South Industrial Park. The 125-foot shoreline buffer cuts through the building and extends about 14'-6" landward of the building on the NW corner. The north side of the building is set -back roughly 30-feet from the property line so there is about 435 square feet of land on the north side of the building that is within the 125-foot buffer but the project in question starts 50-feet south of the NW corner and will not involve this area. This 435 square feet is in a more or less natural state that has seen little change since the building was built (roughly 25-years). The river curves away from the south side of the Rainier building so the SW corner of the building is not within the 125-feet buffer area. The SW corner of the Rainier property has a display area that is triangular in shape. About 3/ of the display are is within 125-feet of the river. The display area was installed in 2008 under the City of Tukwila permit number L08-024. It is landscaped with natural vegetation per the approved plan. The proposed fill project is north of the display area and does not impact it. 2. How will your project change the existing condition of the shoreline described above? The proposed project will have no impact on the river side of the levee. All of the proposed work is on the landward side of the levee. The purpose of the project is to add a paved strip along the back of the Rainier building that is level with the factory floor and will allow Rainier to transfer materials, outside the building, from the roll -up door on the existing loading dock to the roll -up door about 300-feet to the north. To accomplish this, Rainier proposes to add fill between the building and the levee. The factory floor is 42" to 48" above the abandoned railroad bed and the top of the levee is a little over 5-feet above the factory floor. The proposed plan is to add fill between the building and the levee then add a 14-foot wide paved lane against the building that connects the existing doors. There will be a security fence, similar to the other fencing on the Rainier property, along the edge of the paved strip. The proposed fill will be on the landward side of the levee and will provide a structural benefit to the levee. The proposed fill material is the sand that is currently in temporary flood containment bags at the top of the levee. When the bags are removed and the pedestrian path is restored to its original condition, some of the sand from the wall will be used for the fill in this project. A geotechnical report has prepared by Terra Associates, Inc. (TAI) Samples of the proposed sand were taken and tests performed. TAI has provided the necessary procedure for preparing the fill to insure that it will adequately compacted to support the proposed paved strip along the building. The report from TIA confirms the fill will allow adequate infiltration and distribution of rain water as it is currently naturally absorbed into the ground. 3.

Thanks - Brace From: Bruce Blunt Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 5:27 PM To: 'Minnie Dhaliwal' Cc: Ted Marier Subject: RE: Rainier - Public Notice / Land Use Sign Minnie, Ted has done the updates and run the prints. Tomorrow (Thursday) he will drop off (5) sets of the new prints, (4) copies of the SEPA, and (1) original & (4) copies of the biologist's report. The revised drawings include: • Widening the municipal access to 15' • Re -surveying the actual current levee toe & location of the future levee toe • Adjusting the size of the paved area to increase the planted area • Adding the Desimone Levee area • Adding the square footage info to the drawings (shown below) The revised areas are as follows: 1. Area of Fill (Ends of ramps x new levee toe x building/loading dock) • 5250 Square feet of Fill within the 125' Urban Buffer • 3200 Square feet of Fill within the Desimone Project (south of section 56) • 8450 Total square feet of Fill 2. New paved Area • 2900 Square feet of Paved Surface within the 125' Urban Buffer • 2600 Square feet of Paved Surface within the Desimone Project (south of section 56) • 5500 Total square feet of Paved Surface 3. New Buffer Planted Area • 1650 Square feet of Planted Area within the 125' Urban Buffer • 1400 Square feet of Planted Area within the Desimone Project (south of section 56) • 3050 Total square feet of Planted Area The letter from the biologist indicates we have 5,400 square feet of new paved surface (now it is 5,500) it also says we will have 3,800 square feet of new buffer planting (now it is 3,050). These are fairly small differences so I've asked Ted to drop off the report as is (for now). Also, adding the Desimone Levee line decreases the overall area within the 125' urban buffer zone so this informatio them to update the letter if you like. 3y be important for our submittal.

Now that I've seen it, updating it looks pretty straightforward. I've attached a photo of the board and a .pdf. The .pdf is a draft of the info (I believe) the City will want us to add to the board. Let me know if I'm on the right track and where on our property you'd suggest we install it. Updated Drawings • Corrections due to error interpreting the KC topographical Map — We carefully re -surveyed the landward side of the levee yesterday and Ted is currently revising the drawings. We are reducing the size of the proposed concrete strip where it transitions from the existing loading dock to the 14'-wide strip. This will both decrease the paved area as well as increase the planted buffer area. When he is all done we'll recalculate the areas of paved/planted/municipal access that the biologist used in his report then decide if he needs to revise the report. I expect Ted will be done sometime this afternoon. Desimone Levee transition to the 125' Buffer— After Ted has revised the drawing (above), we can overlay it on the Desimone levee drawing that Andy Levesque provided yesterday and update the buffer line. • Resubmit— Hopefully today!

The purpose of environmental review is to identify a proposal's significant adverse impacts, measures to minimize or avoid such impacts, and allow wide public review for a wide range of projects. REQUIREMENTS: SEPA review is required for any action associated with the following types of decisions: 1. Developing 10 or more dwelling units. 2. Developing agricultural structures over 10,000 s.f. 3. Developing office, school, commercial, recreational, service or storage buildings over 12,000 s.f. and 40 parking spaces (certain utility lines, personal wireless communication facilities, and normal maintenance/replacement activities are fully exempt). 4. Developing parking lots with over 40 spaces. 5. Landfills and excavations over 500 cubic yards. 6. Installation of impervious underground tanks with a capacity over 10,000 gallons. The accompanying application must be completed for any new SEPA application or request to issue an addendum to any previous SEPA determination. If a question does not apply, "Does not apply" or "NA" may be entered. Complete answers to the checklist may avoid unnecessary delays later. City staff may also be able to help about governmental designations (e.g., zoning, shoreline, and landmark status). PROCEDURES: At the time you submit your application you must have all of the items listed on the attached "Complete Application Checklist" as well as the submittal for the underlying action (building permit, subdivision etc.). You may request a waiver from items on the checklist that are not applicable to your project. Please discuss this waiver request with City staff either at a pre -application meeting or at the time of application submittal. Within 28 days of receiving your application, City staff will determine if it is complete based on the attached checklist. If not complete City staff will mail to you a letter outlining what additional information is needed. If you do not submit requested materials within 90 days from the City's request for additional information the City may cancel your application. Once the application is "complete," substantive review will begin and a "Notice of Application" must be posted/mailed to begin a public comment period. After completing the environmental analysis and considering public comments, the Director will issue a determination for the project. A Determination. of Non -Significance (DNS) says that the project as proposed will not have probable, significant, negative environmental impacts. A mitigated DNS will be issued if the project must be modified to mitigate its negative impacts. An Environmental lmpact Statement (EIS) must be prepared if the probable negative impacts are unavoidable.

Alter/remove vegetation in the shoreline jurisdiction? X b. Alter the river bank (i.e. re -slope bank, add armoring etc.)? X c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction? X d. Discharge new stormwater to the river? X e. Store or use hazardous materials in the shoreline jurisdiction? X f. Construct an in- or over -water structure? X g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction? X c. The project proposes to add approximately 1,661 cy of fill on the west side of the existing Rainier Industries building, which is landward of the existing levee. The proposed new fill will abut the base of the levee, and will be placed in the existing depression of the old railroad grade in order to create a level area behind the Rainier Industries building. The fill material will be sourced from the existing temporary sandbags currently located on top of the levee that were installed by King County. The sand fill used in the sandbags was originally sourced through cooperation with Federal, State, and local agencies in response to potential catastrophic flooding dangers on the Green River. g. A new, approximately 5,400 sf asphalt strip will be added behind the Rainier Industries building that will utilize a portion of the filled railroad grade and will provide additional access to the rear of the building. While the asphalt strip will be impervious, the sand used to create the final grade will not be completely incased in impervious material and will retain the existing drainage functions currently present. These functions include natural infiltration capabilities of the existing soil and stormwater drainage pipes and catchbasins along the west side of the Rainier Industries building. Note: See project plans prepared by Rainier Industries, Sheets P1.0 through P3.70, for a depiction of the proposed fill and paving.

The way to achieve no net loss of ecological function is to mitigate the loss through one or a combination of the mitigation sequencing steps identified below. If preparing a No Net Loss analysis, please discuss how your project addresses the following mitigation sequencing steps (TMC 18.44.070 H.3.): a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts, c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations, e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. No Net Loss Analysis a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action: The proposed project will substantially avoid all direct impacts to the natural ecological processes of the shoreline environment. It will not directly impact existing vegetation, habitat, critical species, or hydrologic processes. All proposed project work will occur landward of the existing levee in an area that is currently relatively unvegetated (former rail road bed). No work is proposed on the levee itself or on the levee slope adjacent to the Green/Duwamish River. None of the proposed work will occur within or adjacent to the ordinary high water mark of the Green/Duwamish River. The work area consists of the approximately 30' strip of land between the toe of the levee slope and the west side of the Rainier Industries building. This strip of land served as a railway corridor for many years, and so is currently highly disturbed. The railway tracks have been removed, leaving a primarily gravel and dirt surface that is mostly non -vegetated, with the exception of scattered weeds and grasses. This area has little to no habitat value. Therefore, limiting the proposed work to this existing highly disturbed area will allow the project to substantially avoid any direct impacts to the functional shoreline environment. b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts: The proposed project will minimize any temporary impacts, such as noise from construction equipment, by completing the work within a short period of time. The work is proposed to be completed at the time the temporary sandbags are removed from the Levee by the County, either in later summer or early spring. Furthermore, because the project site is separated from the river by the existing levee, temporary indirect impacts to the river environment, such as noise, will be minimized by the Resource & Environmental Planning 15020 Bear Creek Road Northeast • Woodinville, Washington 98077 • Bus: (425)861-7550 Fax: (425)861-7549 Ms. Carol Lumb 4 June 2012 Page 4 of 5 presence of the levee. The project will implement Best Management Practices, as required by the approved grading plans, to provide temporary erosion and sediment control during the construction process. c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment: Because no direct impacts to existing high -quality habitats or ecological processes are proposed or anticipated, no "in -kind" restoration is possible or definable for this project. However, as part of the planned work, the project proposes to restore a 3,800 sf portion of the project area with native trees and shrubs (see Landscape Plan, Sheet P2.40, for a proposed planting plan and plant schedule). These plantings will be installed in a strip between the proposed paving adjacent to the building and the levee maintenance access path at the toe of the levee slope. These plantings will provide an enhancement to the ecological processes of the shoreline environment, which will include the following benefits: 1) Wildlife Habitat: The new plantings will provide woody vegetative cover where none previously existed, which will provide refuge, habitat, and food sources for birds and small mammals. 2) Stormwater Attenuation: The new plantings will help to attenuate stormwater runoff from the new paved area. All runoff from the new paved surfaces will drain to the native planting strip where it will be fully infiltrated into the soil. 3) Hydrology Benefits: Runoff will be fully infiltrated, helping to recharge groundwater and maintain river base flow. 4) Water Quality Benefits: Runoff will be filtered as it slowly percolates through the soil and plant root systems. 5) Shoreline Buffer: The proposed trees and shrubs will help to buffer the shoreline of the Green/Duwamish River from activities on the developed areas of the project site. Existing cottonwood trees on the back of the levee slope were recently cut down, as required by the Corps of Engineers to maintain Federal certification of the levee. As the new native trees and shrubs mature, they will help to replace the physical buffer these cottonwood trees provided to the shoreline environment. 6) Screening: Although not a direct ecological benefit, the proposed native plantings will provide screening of the proposed fence, and partial screening of the Rainier Industries building, as they mature. This will benefit users of the levee trail and will increase the value of this portion of the Green/Duwamish River corridor as a public green space. d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations, The project area will be maintained over time as follows: The new native plantings will be maintained by the applicant/owner to ensure proper establishment over the first several years of growth. This will include providing sufficient water (a minimum of 1" per week during the dry season) by either a temporary irrigation system or hand watering, removing weeds, straightening plants and staking as necessary, replenishing mulch, and replacing dead plants as necessary. If certain species are found to not be thriving at the planting site, species substitutions of equivalent native Resource & Environmental Planning 15020 Bear Creek Road Northeast . Woodinville, Washington 98077 • Bus: (425)861-7550 Fax: (425)861-7549 Ms. Carol Lumb 4 June 2012 Page 5 of 5 species (i.e. equivalent in form and function) may be made to ensure the survival of replacement plants. After the plantings have become established, the applicant/owner will maintain the plantings in a natural state; they will not be maintained as ornamental landscaping, e.g., shrubs and trees will not be mechanically sheared. Only minimal pruning will be done periodically to keep the security fenceline adjacent to the new paving strip clear, and to maintain a 1oot access path at the toe of the levee slope, as required by the City. The applicant/owner will provide permanent periodic maintenance to keep the native planting area free of trash, debris, and invasive species. This long-term maintenance may also include the occasional replacement of plants, as necessary, to maintain the native vegetation restoration area in a healthy, fully vegetated condition to maintain ecological function. These maintenance measures will serve to continually enhance and preserve the ecological benefits of the native vegetation restoration area. e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and As discussed in mitigation sequencing step "a" above, no direct impacts to existing habitats or ecological processes are proposed or anticipated, so no "in -kind" substitution or direct replacement of resources is possible. Proposed ecological enhancement measures are described in item "c" above. f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. The proposed native vegetation restoration area will be monitored in perpetuity by the applicant/owner to ensure it maintains its intended ecological functions. See item "d" above for a description of proposed maintenance measures. We trust that the above responses will satisfy the requirements of the SSDP No Net Loss Analysis for this project.

CPL Page 5 of 10 06/01/2012 9:59 AM W:\\Long Range Projects\Shoreline\New Shoreline Permits\4-11-12 SSDP Permit NO NET LOSS CHECKLIST What is No Net Loss? The Washington State Shoreline Management Act (SMA) requires protection of the natural resources and ecological functions of the shoreline environment. Ecological functions are processes that characterize the river and its shoreline and form habitats for water- and land -based wildlife and vegetation. Ecological processes depend on the geology, soil type, topography, climate, and other physical characteristics in the region. In the Green/Duwamish River watershed, key ecological processes include: • river flows, tidal fluctuations and saltwater influences; • creation, transport and deposition of sediment (for example scouring of soils, and erosion and formation of mud -flats or beaches); • transport of nutrients (from decomposition of plants and other organic materials); • provision of woody debris from fallen limbs and trees along the banks or in the water (the trunks and branches help form pools for fish); and • water quality (such as vegetation that can help to filter out pollutants that are washed into the river from parking lots and vegetation that can help reduce temperatures in the river, important for fish, especially salmon). These physical and biological processes comprise the ecological functions of the shoreline. The state guidelines that implement the SMA, adopted in 2003, establish the standard of "no net loss" of shoreline ecological functions for land uses and development within the shoreline jurisdiction. The No Net Loss standard is designed to stop the introduction of new negative impacts to shoreline ecological functions resulting from new development. Tukwila's Shoreline Master Program (SMP) defines no net loss as a: "...standard intended to ensure that shoreline development or uses, whether permitted or exempt, are located and designed to avoid loss or degradation of shoreline ecological functions that are necessary to sustain shoreline natural resources. " In other words, the existing conditions of the shoreline ecological functions should not deteriorate due to new permitted development or new land use. A loss of ecological function can occur when a physical condition such as vegetation along the shoreline is removed or when habitat is altered through the construction of a dock or pier or other structures over this habitat. In order to maintain shoreline ecological functions, negative impacts must be mitigated to restore an equivalent amount of ecological function. The approach to mitigation must follow the mitigation sequencing steps adopted in the SMP (see next page). It should be noted that the SMA and the City's SMP also require improvement of shoreline functions, and therefore, some re -vegetation of the shoreline will be required in proportion to the scale of the project, regardless of whether there is a net loss to ecological functions.

Describe the existing condition of the shoreline area and riverbank. For example, what plants and how much vegetation currently exist within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction; what is the condition of the shoreline (how steep are the banks, is there any erosion or slope failure, what are the soils like); is there "hard armoring" on the riverbank (for example, concrete or wooden bulkheads, metal sheet piling, rip -rap [rocks or concrete/asphalt blocks]), is there paving or are there any structures within the 200 ft. shoreline jurisdiction; are there any docks, piers, decks or other structures near or over the water; are there any above -ground or below ground utilities; etc.? 2. How will your project change the existing condition of the shoreline described above? 3.

Consider all phases of your project including, but not limited to, construction, normal operation, potential emergency operation, and ongoing and scheduled maintenance. Continue to the next question as directed for each No or Yes answer. 1-0 Will the project require any form of grading? Grading is defined as any excavating, filling, clearing, or creation of impervious surface, or any combination thereof, which alters the existing ground surface of the earth (TMC 18.06.370). Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 2-0 YES - Continue to Question IA (Page 3) 2-0 Will the project require any form of clearing? Clearing means the removal or causing to be removed, through either direct or indirect actions, any vegetation from a site (18.06.145). Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 3-0 YES - Continue to Question 2-1 (Page 4) 3-0 Will the project require work, during any time of the project, below the ordinary high water mark of a watercourse or the Green/Duwamish or Black Rivers or in wetlands? Ordinary high water mark is the mark that is found by examining the bed and banks of a stream and ascertaining where the presence and action of waters are so common and usual as to distinctly mark the soil from that of the abutting upland, in respect to vegetation (see TMC Chapter 18.06, Page 18-15). Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 4-0 YES - Continue to Question 3-1 (Page 5) 4-0 Will the project result in the processing or handling, storage, or treatment of hazardous substances? This does not include the proper use of fuel stored in a vehicle's fuel tank. Hazardous substances are any liquid, solid, gas, or sludge, including any material, substance, product, commodity, or waste, regardless of quantity, that exhibits the characteristics or criteria of hazardous waste as defined by Washington Administrative Code 173-303 (TMC 18.06.385). This includes fuel or other chemicals stored on -site during construction. Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 5-0 YES - Continue to Question 5-0 5-0 Will the project result in the withdrawal, injection, or interception of groundwater? Examples of projects that may affect groundwater include, but are not limited to: construction of a new well, change in water withdrawals from an existing well, projects involving prolonged construction dewatering, projects installing French drains or interceptor trenches, and sewer lines. For the purpose of this analysis, projects that require a geotechnical report pursuant to the requirements of TMC 18.45.060 or would require a geotechnical report if not exempt should answer Yes. Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 6-0 YES - Continue to Question 6-0 6-0 Will the project involve landscaping or re -occurring outdoor maintenance that includes the regular use of fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides? This does not include the one-time use of transplant fertilizers.

For the purpose of this analysis, this includes the establishment of new lawn or grass. Please mark the appropriate response. NO — Checklist Complete YES — Checklist Complete H:\Land Use Applications in PDF\SEPA Environmental Review Application-Jan201 Ldoc Page 2 City - `Tukwila ESA Screening Checklist Part B: Please answer each question below for projects that include grading. Review each question carefully, considering all phases of your project including, but not limited to construction, normal operation, potential emergency operation, and ongoing and scheduled maintenance. Continue to the next question as directed for each No or Yes answer. 1-1 Will the project involve the modification of a watercourse bank or bank of the Green/Duwamish or Black Rivers between the ordinary high water mark and top of bank? This includes any projects that will require grading on any slope leading to a river or stream, but will not require work below the ordinary high water mark. Work below the ordinary high water mark is covered in Part C. Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 1-2 YES - Continue to Question 1-2 1-2 Could the construction, operation, or maintenance of the project result in sediment transport off site or increased rates of erosion and/or sedimentation in watercourses, the Green/Duwamish rivers, or the Black River? Most projects that involve grading have the potential to result in increased erosion and/or sedimentation as a result of disturbances to the soil or earth. If your project involves grading and you have not prepared a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan specifically designed to retain 100 percent of the runoff (including during construction) from impervious surface or disturbed soils, answer Yes to this question. If your project is normally exempt under the Tukwila Municipal Code and would not require the preparation of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, BUT may still result in erosion or sediment transport off site or beyond the work area, answer Yes to this question. Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 1-3 YES - Continue to Question 1-3 1-3 Will the project result in the construction of new impervious surfaces? Impervious surfaces include those hard surfaces which prevent or restrict the entry of water into the soil in the manner that such water entered the soils under natural conditions prior to development; or a hard surface area that causes water to run off the surface in greater quantity or at an increased rate of flow from the flow presented under natural conditions prior to development. Such areas include, but are not limited to, rooftops, asphalt or concrete paving, compacted surfaces, or other surfaces that similarly affect the natural infiltration or runoff patterns existing prior to development (TMC 18.06.445). Please mark the appropriate response. NO - Continue to Question 2-0 (Page 2) YES - Continue to Question 1-4 1-4 Will your project generate stormwater from the creation of impervious surfaces that will not be infiltrated on site? For the purpose of this analysis, infiltration includes the use of a stormwater treatment and management system intended to contain all stormwater on site by allowing it to seep into pervious surface or through other means to be introduced into the ground. If your project involves the construction of impervious surface and does not include the design of a stormwater management system specifically designed to infiltrate stormwater, answer Yes to this question.

About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? 35% - The overall area between the Rainier building and the levee is is roughly 21,000 square feet. The fill will cover roughly 14,500 square feet of the area between the building and levee as it does not reach either end of the building. The newly paved area will be about 5,340 square feet. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Each end of the filled area will be gently sloped back to grade. The slope will be roughly 75' long and drop 4' overall resulting in a 1:18.75 or 3° slope. The slope is so gradual that there shouldn't be any erosion during the construction or after. Regardless, temporary erosion control will be in place during the project. Filtration cloth will be added to the storm drain grates. There is a drain about 100' north of the project and another about 300' south. 2. Air a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (for example, dust, automobile odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. During the project there could be a negative net impact from vehicles emissions and a zero net gain from dust. The fill is to come from the sandbags that are on the levee and are going to be hauled off. The savings of not trucking them to a distant site will offset the minimal emissions from grading. Similarly, the sand is already being dumped out of the bags into trucks. There should be no appreciable gain of dust from this process if it is dumped directly onto the Rainier site. b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. No. H:Umd Use Applications in PDRSEPA Environmental Review Application-Jan201 Ldoc Page 4 SEPA Checklist Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary. Applicant Responses: Agency Comments c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: None. Reference the City of Tukwila's noise control plan to remove the sandbags from the levee. Since the bags need to be trucked long distances this project should produce a net decrease in overall noise from the City's bag removal plan. Remaining grading, planting, and paving should produce a minimal amount of noise for a relatively short period of time. 3. Water a. Surface: 1. Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-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. No. 2. Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. N/A 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.

No. The 100-year flood plane is 2'-below the top of the river side of the levee. This project is on the landward side of the levee. 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. H:Vand Use Applications in PDF\SEPA Environmental Review Application-Jan2011.doc Page 6 SEPA Checklist Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary.

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? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. None. No new water will enter this area. Currently any rain that lands in this 30'-wide strip, where the railroad used to be, is infiltrated into the ground. There are no drains. Rain will infiltrate through the new sand fill and into the ground below as it does now. 2. Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. No. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: None.

Plants a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site: Deciduous tree: alder, maple, aspen, other ✓ Evergreen tree: fir, cedar, pine, other Shrubs ✓ Grass Pasture Crop or ain Wet soilplants: cattail, buttercup, bulrush, skunk cabbage, other Water plants: water lily, eel ass, milfoil, other Other types of vegetation b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Almost the entire area that is planned to be filled site is gravel railroad bed and has no trees, shrubs, or grass. Only the grass on the bottom of the landward side of the levee will be covered. There is one small fir tree at the SW comer of the inclined slope. It appears to be a volunteer that survived as it was just off the edge of the railroad bed. The plan is to work around that tree and leave it undisturbed. c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. None. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any: As part of the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, Rainier plans to add native plants to "mitigate" the impact of the fill. There are no plants being removed so all the plants will be an enhancement to from the old railroad bed. The City of Tukwila is requiring a 13' clear area from the landward side of the levee toe. This will leave a very nice planting strip down the length of the project. The new shrubs will screen the fence and (look good) and provide habitat for wildlife (good for the environment).

What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: traffic, equipment, operation, other)? There is a dust collector on the back of the Rainier building that has a fan and makes a low -pitch hum. Occasionally a forklift is operated in this area for a few minutes at a time. Other than that there is the normal environmental sounds typical of an industrial park in Tukwila. 2. What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. Short Term: Just the grading and paving of the project. This will be minimal and the neighbors will probably not even be able to hear the activity. Long Term: There will be virtually no impact. There will be a slight increase in forklift traffic along the back of the Rainier building but the noise generated from this activity will be very minimal. 3.

Decker Subject: Material Testing Bruce: Project Name: Rainier Industries Testing Tukwila, Washington As requested Terra Associates, Inc. has tested three samples from the existing levee sand located near Rainier Industries in Tukwila, Washington. We met with you on May 15, 2012 to collect the samples from the locations you selected. These samples were taken back to our lab where we performed a proctor analysis in accordance with ASTM D698 and a sieve analysis in accordance with ASTM D422 on each sample. The results of the proctor and sieve analysis for each of the three samples are attached. Additional, we were asked to determine if the soils sampled would be suitable for support of infiltration. As we understand, the water that would be infiltrated would be runoff from a proposed 14' X 250' concrete or asphalt paved section along the west side of the existing building. The soils sampled showed a high fines content that would not make them suitable for use of regional infiltration; however, they would be suitable for use in small scale infiltration, such as the proposed 14' X 250' paved section. We do not recommend any additional stormwater be directed to these fill soils. The City of Tukwila uses the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual to determine infiltration rates. This manual does not allow for an infiltration rate to be determined from a sample, but states the rate should be determined using field testing. As the fill has not been placed in a manner that would allow for field testing, a field test is not practical at this time. In order to determine an infiltration rate we used the current methodology as described in Volume III of Ecology's 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. We used Method I as outlined in Section 3.3.6, Volume III of the Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, to determine the long-term design infiltration rate. This method correlates the long-term infiltration rate with the USDA Soil Textural Clasification. The USDA Soil Textural Classification is based on the gradation analysis. Based on the results of the testing, per Table 3.7 of the manual, a long-term design infiltration rate of 0.13 inches per hour can be used. In order to comply with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual we recommend an EPA fall head percolation test be performed once the fill has been placed in order to verify the long-term design infiltration rate. 12525 Willows Road, Suite 101, Kirkland, Washington 98034 Phone No. (425) 821-7777 Fax: 821-4334 The penneability of the fill soils will be significantly impacted by the intrusion of soil fines (silt- and clay - sized particles). Even a relatively minor amount of soil fines can reduce the permeability of the formation by a factor of ten. The greatest exposure to soil fines contamination will occur during mass grading and construction. Therefore, we recommend that the Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control (TESC) plans route construction storinwater to a location other than the permanent infiltration site. We trust the information presented in this memorandum is sufficient for your current needs. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call. 0`YN S.

B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ANALYSIS AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS: 1. Vicinity Map Attached "Vicinity Map" 2. Provide: a) See the attached plan sheets illustrating compliance with Review Guidelines. b) No Net Loss Checklist 1. Describe the existing condition of the shoreline area and riverbank. For example, what plants and how much vegetation currently exist within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction; what is the condition of the shoreline (how steep are the banks, is there any erosion or slope failure, what are the soils like); is there "hard armoring" on the riverbank (for example, concrete or wooden bulkheads, metal sheet piling, rip -rap [rocks or concrete/asphalt blocks]), is there paving or are there any structures within the 200 ft. shoreline jurisdiction; are there any docks, piers, decks or other structures near or over the water; are there any above -ground or below ground utilities; etc.? This project, as proposed, will be approximately 400-feet along the river. In this area the river path is defined by the levee. The riverbank (river side of the levee) is lush with native vegetation which is overgrown and thriving. The riverbank does not appear to show any signs of erosion or slope failure and it is monitored and maintained by the city and county and certified by the US Army Corps of Engineers. This proposed project will have no impact on the river shoreline, river, vegetation along the riverbank, fish, fish habitat, etc. The site is already developed with an urban use. The proposed project will improve the existing state of the non- conforming railroad bed on the landward side of the levee. The area of the proposed fill is between the west side of the Rainier building and the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 600-feet long and the Rainier property is roughly 725-feet long. The fill proposed for this project will be about 400-feet long total. Current condition of the 125-foot buffer area along Rainier's property: The river side of the levee is a thriving natural area that is lush with native vegetation. There are no bulkheads, metal piling, rip -rap, or structures anywhere along the river in this area. The public access path along the top of the levee has been replaced with a temporary sandbag flood containment wall for the last couple of years and is in a state of apparent neglect. The landward slope of the levee is covered primarily with native grass and appears to be stable with no signs of sagging or erosion. When the sandbags were added to the top of the levee, a row of mature Poplar trees were cut down from the landward side of the levee. The stumps and root systems are the only dominate features on the landward side of the levee. The Rainier building is roughly 30-feet from the landward levee toe and runs more or less parallel to the levee. The 30-feet of ground between the building and the levee is mostly flat and is the bed of the abandoned BN railroad. The tracks have been removed and the area of the proposed fill is the gravel bed of the railroad. The Rainier building is in the Southcenter South Industrial Park. The 125-foot shoreline buffer cuts through the building and extends about 14'-6" landward of the building on the NW corner. The north side of the building is set -back roughly 30-feet from the property line so there is about 435 square feet of land on the north side of the building that is within the 125-foot buffer but the project in question starts 50-feet south of the NW corner and will not involve this area. This 435 square feet is in a more or less natural state that has seen little change since the building was built (roughly 25-years). The river curves away from the south side of the Rainier building so the SW corner of the building is not within the 125-feet buffer area. The SW corner of the Rainier property has a display area that is triangular in shape. About 3/ of the display are is within 125-feet of the river. The display area was installed in 2008 under the City of Tukwila permit number L08-024. It is landscaped with natural vegetation per the approved plan. The proposed fill project is north of the display area and does not impact it. 2. How will your project change the existing condition of the shoreline described above? The proposed project will have no impact on the river side of the levee. All of the proposed work is on the landward side of the levee. The purpose of the project is to add a paved strip along the back of the Rainier building that is level with the factory floor and will allow Rainier to transfer materials, outside the building, from the roll -up door on the existing loading dock to the roll -up door about 300-feet to the north. To accomplish this, Rainier proposes to add fill between the building and the levee. The factory floor is 42" to 48" above the abandoned railroad bed and the top of the levee is a little over 5-feet above the factory floor. The proposed plan is to add fill between the building and the levee then add a 14-foot wide paved lane against the building that connects the existing doors. There will be a security fence, similar to the other fencing on the Rainier property, along the edge of the paved strip. The proposed fill will be on the landward side of the levee and will provide a structural benefit to the levee. The proposed fill material is the sand that is currently in temporary flood containment bags at the top of the levee. When the bags are removed and the pedestrian path is restored to its original condition, some of the sand from the wall will be used for the fill in this project. A geotechnical report has prepared by Terra Associates, Inc. (TAI) Samples of the proposed sand were taken and tests performed. TAI has provided the necessary procedure for preparing the fill to insure that it will adequately compacted to support the proposed paved strip along the building. The report from TIA confirms the fill will allow adequate infiltration and distribution of rain water as it is currently naturally absorbed into the ground. 3. Please respond to the questions in the following chart - A No Net Loss analysis (prepared by a qualified biologist) must be prepared if the response to any of the questions in the chart below is "yes": WILL THE PROJECT: NO YES a. Alter/remove vegetation in the shoreline jurisdiction? X b. Alter the river bank (i.e. re -slope bank, add armoring etc.)? X c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction? X d. Discharge new stormwater to the river? X e. Store or use hazardous materials in the shoreline jurisdiction? X f. Construct an in- or over -water structure? X g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction? X NOTE: The questions below are addressed in a separate document prepared by David Teesdale; Ecologist/Wetland Ecologist of Talasaea Consultants, Inc. The Talasaea document provides a scientific response to each question. The lay responses below from Rainier are intended to provide the reviewers of this application with additional perspective understanding the scope and intent of this project. Responses to No Net Loss Chart: c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction. The fill will cover existing gravel railroad bed. No wildlife habitat will be lost due to adding this fill. The scope of the project includes adding trees and shrubbery which will create a wildlife habitat, of natural vegetation, along the length of this proposed fill project. g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction. A relatively small part of the project involves adding a paved strip along the west side of the building to allow transfer of inventory and materials from door to door. Water draining off this paved strip will drain to the area where the native vegetation will be added. This vegetation will provide habitat and provide a visual screen to the fence and building for people walking on the trail that is on top of the levee. Any runoff from the paved strip that is not absorbed into the root systems of the new trees and shrubs will infiltrate down through the fill into the ground where the old railroad bed was and be absorbed into the earth as it currently is. 4. The way to achieve no net loss of ecological function is to mitigate the loss through one or a combination of the mitigation sequencing steps identified below. If preparing a No Net Loss analysis, please discuss how your project addresses the following mitigation sequencing steps (TMC 18.44.070 H.3.): This project is proposed where there is a recently vacated railroad. No existing wildlife habitat will be displaced in the filling of this area. Rainier plans to add native plantings, per the plan provided by KLLA Landscaping Architects, Inc., as mitigation sequencing to provide wildlife habitat where none currently exists. The addition of this native vegetation will also dramatically enhance the visual appearance of the Rainier property from the levee trail. a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; Again, the existing railroad bed provides no appreciable wildlife habitat and look terrible from the levee trail. The railroad tracks were just removed within the last year. Adding this fill and the native planting will be a means to transform this area into an environment that provides visual screening to the back of the Rainier building and a habitat for wildlife. b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; The work is intended to be done as quickly as possible and in the late summer/early spring. It will be done at the same time as the temporary flood containment wall is removed. There should be little or no additional disturbance to local wildlife during the execution of the project. c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitation, or restoring the affected environment; Since the Poplar trees were removed from the levee, by the city, this area no longer provides a natural environment for wildlife. This project will restore the area where the old railroad bed is to a much more natural environment. The scope of the project includes adding native plantings where none currently exist so there will be a substantial net gain of wildlife habitat. d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; A key requirement of this project is to leave a minimum of 13-feet of clear and unobstructed ground between the new Rainier fence and the landward levee toe. This requirement is to provide municipal access for periodic levee inspection and is a requirement for local municipalities to apply for federal funding to maintain the levee. The proposed plan it to keep a minimum of 13-feet of clearance between the native plantings on the west side of the new fence and the levee toe. After the native plantings become established, they will need no maintenance. During the first several years, while the new plants are establishing themselves, Rainier will be responsible for insuring they get enough water and basic care. Over time, the plants will establish themselves, and the only planned maintenance will be to keep them trimmed away from the fence and the 13-foot clear area. All of the other landscaping on the Rainier property is professionally maintained and this area will be as well. Also, the addition of this fill on the landward side of the levee will provide backing to the levee and reduce the landward levee slope area. The strengthening of the levee should reduce future maintenance requirements of the levee. e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and There is no shrubbery being displaced by the addition of this fill. The area is a railroad bed that was designed and maintained to provide freight deliveries to the backs of the buildings along the river. The addition of this fill and native planting will be a dramatic enhancement of the area from its current condition. It will be a natural draw to future wildlife where there is currently no habitat. As mentioned above, the addition of this belt of trees and shrubs along the back of the Rainier building will be much more visually pleasing to people walking along the levee trail. f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. This plan does not call for any monitoring. The affected area is small and will enhance the existing habitat along this reach of the river. Birds, rabbits, and other critters will eventually move into this area as there will be little human activity in the area where plantings will be located. The typical access for the levee inspections is done along the levee trail. It is not anticipated that any of the various municipalities use the 13-foot clear zone on the landward side of the levee unless there is an actual levee maintenance project.

The fill from this project is to come fromthe sandbags that are currently on top of the levee • The sand has been B The fill should be placed in 12 inch loose lifts and compacted to 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by the ASTM D698 proctors we performed The moisture content of the material should be within minus one to plus three percent of the optimum moisture also determined by this test. C. The sub grade should be observed by either Tema Associates, Inc. or another qualified geotechnical engineer prior to fill placement to determine if there are any soft areas that will need either over excavation and removal or re -compaction in place. D- Upon completion of the fill placement and prior to paving a proof roll should be performed to determine if there are any soft spots under the paving section The sub grade should be proof rolled with heavy rubber - tire construction equipment such as a loaded 10-yard dump truck to verify this condition f VicinitLity Map -- Scale: NTS ,�c��n� M IRS h&&e� L l 18Z01y#A*& Tliauia,WA 98188 800-869-7162 Toll Free 425-251-1800 Phone 425-251-5065 Fax www.rainier.com Original design concepts are protected under Federal Copyright Laws and are the property of Rainier Industries, Ltd.

I have annotated the attached permit with comments in the left hand column in most places. Where the detail didn't fit into the permit I have attached it above (the landscaping standards and land altering standards). Shoreline Environment and Buffer: The site is located in the Urban Conservancy Environment of the shoreline behind a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers certified levee. The buffer width is 125 feet normally, however much of the levee here has been reconfigured at close to a 2.5:1 slope with a mid -slope bench which has been planted for habitat benefit. Where the levee has been laid back, the buffer area is reduced as follows: "In areas of the river where the minimum levee profile currently exists or where the property owner or a government agency has constructed the minimum profile, the buffer will be reduced to the actual distance as measured from the ordinary high water mark to the landward toe of the levee or face of a floodwall, plus 10 feet. In the event that the owner provides the City and/or applicable agency with a 10-foot levee maintenance easement measured landward from the landward toe of the levee or levee wall (which easement prohibits the construction of any structures and allows the City and/or applicable agency to access the area to inspect the levee), then the buffer shall be reduced to the landward toe of the levee, or landward edge of the levee floodwall, as the case may be. "In cases where fill is placed along the back slope of the levee, the shoreline buffer may be further reduced to the point where the ground plane intersects the back slope. The area between the landward edge of the buffer and a point ten (10) feet landward of the underground levee toe shall be covered by an easement prohibiting the construction of any structures and allowing the City and/or applicable agency to access the area to inspect the levee and/or floodwall and make any necessary repairs." The Rainier Industries building was built prior to the lay -back of the levee in this location — as a result, the levee reconfiguration had to take into account the existing structure and uses, including the railroad tracks that existed at the time to deliver material to the building. These railroad tracks have since been removed and replaced with gravel. I am assuming the existence of the building hindered laying back the levee at 2.5:1. Review Criteria: found on page 10 of Annotated Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for Rainier Industries Permitted uses: i Section 8.3 of the Shoreline Master ram includes a list of uses permitted in 1 Jrban Conservancy. Outside the shoreline buffer area, a wide range of industrial uses are permitted. Uses in the buffer area are much more constrained. Development Standards: Public Access - public access applies only if the development or use will create an increased demand for public access - i.e. whether the use is being intensified or there is a significant increase in sq. footage to the structure. This does not appear to be the case with the proposal. Height: the maximum height in the shoreline jurisdiction is 45 feet outside the buffer; 15 feet within the buffer. The height limitation applies to structures - no structures are proposed to be constructed with this project. Lighting: lighting shall be designed to prevent light spillover and glare on adjacent properties and the river. The minimum light levels in parking and areas paths is 1 foot candle. Landscaping: see attached standards for plant sizes and spacing from the Shoreline Master Program. These will differ from the landscaping standards used for the yurt shoreline permit.

Tukwila's shoreline regulations were updated in October, 2011 when the Department of Ecology approved the City's new Shoreline Master Program (SMP). REQUIREMENTS: All development over $5,718 land within 200 ft. of the Duwamish/Green River and associated wetlands require a "Shoreline Substantial Development Permit" except the following: • Owner -occupied construction of a single family house that does not exceed 35 feet in height and/or dock construction when the dock construction costs are less than $2,500 in salt water and $10,000 in fresh water; • Normal maintenance and repair; • Habitat improvements which are part of a watershed plan; • Hazardous waste remediation when approved by the State; • Emergency construction needed to protect property from imminent danger. While a project may be exempt from the need to obtain a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, the project must still be consistent with the requirements of Tukwila's SMP. The Director may impose conditions on the approval of exempt developments and/or uses as necessary to assure compliance of the project with the Shoreline Management Act and the City's SMP. PROCEDURES: Your application must contain all of the items listed on the attached "Complete Application Checklist" including Project Value Documentation. You may request a waiver from items on the checklist that are not applicable to your project. Please discuss this waiver request with City planning staff prior to submitting the application. Within 28 days of receiving your application, City staff will determine if it is complete based on the attached checklist. If the application is not complete, City staff will contact you about what additional information is needed. If you do not submit the requested materials within 90 days from the City's request for additional information, the City may cancel your application. A shoreline permit decision is made administratively by the Director of the Department of Community Development after the expiration of the public notice period. The City's decision is sent to the Department of Ecology for its review. There is a 21 day appeal period on Shoreline Substantial Development P ermits and no construction may occur during that time, although building permits may be reviewed. EXPIRATION: Construction must begin within two years of permit approval and be completed within five years. ' Starting in 2007, the dollar threshold trigger for substantial development is adjusted every 5 years, to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index.

The Washington State Shoreline Management Act (SMA) requires protection of the natural resources and ecological functions of the shoreline environment. Ecological functions are processes that characterize the river and its shoreline and form habitats for water- and land -based wildlife and vegetation. Ecological processes depend on the geology, soil type, topography, climate, and other physical characteristics in the region. In the Green/Duwamish River watershed, key ecological processes include: • river flows, tidal fluctuations and saltwater influences; • creation, transport and deposition of sediment (for example scouring of soils, and erosion and formation of mud -flats or beaches); • transport of nutrients (from decomposition of plants and other organic materials); • provision of woody debris from fallen limbs and trees along the banks or in the water (the trunks and branches help form pools for fish); and • water quality (such as vegetation that can help to filter out pollutants that are washed into the river from parking lots and vegetation that can help reduce temperatures in the river, important for fish, especially salmon). These physical and biological processes comprise the ecological functions of the shoreline. The state guidelines that implement the SMA, adopted in 2003, establish the standard of "no net loss" of shoreline ecological functions for land uses and development within the shoreline jurisdiction. The No Net Loss standard is designed to stop the introduction of new negative impacts to shoreline ecological functions resulting from new development. Tukwila's Shoreline Master Program (SMP) defines no net loss as a: "...standard intended to ensure that shoreline development or uses, whether permitted or exempt, are located and designed to avoid loss or degradation of shoreline ecological functions that are necessary to sustain shoreline natural resources. " In other words, the existing conditions of the shoreline ecological functions should not deteriorate due to new permitted development or new land use. A loss of ecological function can occur when a physical condition such as vegetation along the shoreline is removed or when habitat is altered through the construction of a dock or pier or other structures over this habitat. In order to maintain shoreline ecological functions, negative impacts must be mitigated to restore an equivalent amount of ecological function. The approach to mitigation must follow the mitigation sequencing steps adopted in the SMP (see next page). It should be noted that the SMA and the City's SMP also require improvement of shoreline functions, and therefore, some re -vegetation of the shoreline will be required in proportion to the scale of the project, regardless of whether there is a net loss to ecological functions. CPL Page 11 of 13 05/01/2012 4:25 PM W:\\Long Range Projects\Shoreline\New Shoreline Pennits\4-11-12 SSDP On a separate sheet of paper, please respond to the following questions to evaluate your project's impacts and assist in analyzing whether there will be a net loss to shoreline ecological functions requiring mitigation: 1. Describe the existing condition of the shoreline area and riverbank. For example, what plants and how much vegetation currently exist within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction; what is the condition of the shoreline (how steep are the banks, is there any erosion or slope failure, what are the soils like); is there "hard armoring" on the riverbank (for example, concrete or wooden bulkheads, metal sheet piling, rip -rap [rocks or concrete/asphalt blocks]), is there paving or are there any structures within the 200 ft. shoreline jurisdiction; are there any docks, piers, decks or other structures near or over the water; are there any above -ground or below ground utilities; etc.? The response to this question does not need to be lengthy, please briefly describe what the 200 foot shoreline area looks like — the site is already developed with an urban use, which had railroad tracks behind the building for delivery of materials before they were removed and replaced with gravel. These are the kinds of details we are looking for — as the examples above indicate. 2. How will your project change the existing condition of the shoreline described above? Again, the response can be brief —just describe the project completely, fill amount, the connection that will be formed between the two roll up doors and why this is needed. Whether the f llplaced behind the levee will be providing a structural benefit to the levee system etc. 3. Please respond to the questions in the following chart - A No Net Loss analysis (prepared by a qualified biologist) must be prepared if the response to any of the questions in the chart below is "yes": WILL THE PROJECT: NO YES a. Alter/remove vegetation in the shoreline jurisdiction? b. Alter the river bank i.e. re -slope bank, add armoring etc.)? c. Add fill in the shoreline jurisdiction? d. Discharge new stormwater to the river? e. Store or use hazardous materials in the shoreline jurisdiction? f. Construct an in- or over -water structure? g. Increase impervious surface in the shoreline jurisdiction? Place a check mark in either the no or yes columns. 4. The way to achieve no net loss of ecological function is to mitigate the loss through one or a combination of the mitigation sequencing steps identified below. If preparing a No Net Loss analysis, CPL Page 12 of 13 05/01/2012 4:25 PM WA\Long Range Projects\ShorelineWew Shoreline Permits\4-11-12 SSDP please discuss how your project addresses the following mitigation sequencing steps (TMC 18.44.070 H.3.): a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; e. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. The biologist will respond to these questions.

Larson, P.E. Senior Engineer Public Works Department 6300 Southcenter Blvd., Suite 100 Tukwila, WA 98188-2544 April 18", 2012 Dear Ryan, Please consider this letter authorization from Rainier Industries, Ltd. (Rainier) to the city of Tukwila (the City) for the following work. Rainier authorizes the City and its subcontractors to dump sand from the existing supplemental flood containment wall, on top of the east levee, onto Rainier property under the following guidelines and criteria: • Rainier can accept up to 1,700 cubic yards of sand from the existing supplemental flood containment wall that is to be removed from the top of the levee. This sand can be deposited along the west side of Rainier. The minimum dumping quantity Rainier will accept is 1,200 cubic yards • For Rainier to accept this sand the city needs to approve its use as fill between the west side of Rainier's building and the existing levee. Rainier to submit a filling and grading permit and apply for a SEPA determination. • The fill will establish a level area approximately 4'-0" deep x 300' long and fill the area from the Rainier building to the levee. The fill will also provide a gentle slope at each end down to the original grade. • Rainier can only accept the sand. The bags and wire cages cannot be left on Rainier property. • The sand has to be dumped in an organized manner within the middle 400-feet of the space between the west side of Rainier and the levee. Rainier will provide any City required erosion control screening. If the screening has to be temporarily moved during the dumping the contractor is to re -install it as necessary to stay compliant with city requirements. Rainier Industries Ltd. 800.869.7162 425.251.5065 18375 Olympic Avenue South, Tukwila, Washington 98188 USA www.rainier.com • The City's contractor can access the west side of the Rainier building three ways. From the north down the vacated railroad bed. From the South through the Rainier side yard (gated). From the west off the pedestrian path on the top of the levee. • The contractor must notify/meet with Rainier no less than 4 days prior to commencing the dumping. • See the attached 2 page drawing & satellite photo showing the sand dump area and site access. • All fill must be deposited on Rainier's property no later than October 1, 2012. Rainier will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to make this project as easy as possible for all parties. If there are any questions about the terms listed above, please contact Bruce Blunt or Brian Rowinski at Rainier Industries. Sincerely, Bruce Blunt Rainier Industries, Ltd.

It looks like we can probably use all 1,661 available yards but 0l double check my quantity (cubic yardage) calculations tomorrow and get back to you. I assume the sand will be dumped and the bags and cages will disposed of by the contractor removing the sand from the wall. What kind of documentation and drawings will you need from Rainier? I will be including this "disposal" site in our project plans which will be a legal contract between the City and our contractor. Any field changes to these plans typically costs us money so I want to keep everything clear between all the parties. What I suggest from you is if you could send me a letter on your company letterhead with a schematic plan sheet attached authorizing the City and our contractor to dispose of up to approximately 1,661 yards of sand/silt material by filling the area behind your building to a depth of 3.5' (change these numbers as you see fit). I would also state the minimum material that you will take otherwise the contractor might dispose of 500 yards and then decide to truck it to other locations. If this is not a problem then you do not need to address it. Also state or show on a drawing any available access through your property. I am not sure how the contractor will fill this area but we want to make it as easy as possible for them to want to use this area. You will also want to list a contact name and number for the Contractor to contact 1 week in advance of placement of material. I would state that you will be responsible for erosion control following final placement of the material and for final compaction. If you can think of other items them please add them to the letter or note them on the plan. I will then include this letter in our project specifications so the contractor will know exactly what is expected. All plastic and bags will be disposed of by the City. 2) Permits —At this point/ don't really see what permit we would need. We are only paving the first 14 feet from the building. Rainwater will drain west to the fill and filter down into the earth exactly as it does now. You have previously indicated that we don't need a permit for the fence as long as it's not within 18 feet of the levee toe. With the raised level the (apparent) levee toe will be well beyond the 18 foot minimum distance from the fence. Please let me know if I need to apply for any permits. You will need a permit issued by the City. It might simply be a filling and grading permit. The City's Permit Center can help determine what permit you will apply for. You will also need to apply for a SEPA determination. As for drainage, you may be able to simply slope the pavement and allow runoff to infiltrate. You will need a registered engineer to evaluate this drainage plan to determine that it will work. This will involve sampling the fill material to ensure that it allows infiltration. As to the City's project timing, I learned yesterday that the Flood District is delaying their decision on funding until at least late May. This will postpone our ability to advertise this project until at least June. I still expect we will be removing the temporary flood measures from the east side of the river this year but the west side may be delayed until 2013 when we can find additional funding.

Tom From: Bean, Tom Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 8:58 AM To: 'Fischer, Dennis A NWS' Cc: Levesque, Andy; Koon, John; Rice, Jennifer Subject: FW: Rainier - Proposed Fence Line Dennis, I am writing to follow up the voice mail message I just left for you this morning. We're working with a private landowner in Tukwila and have had questions arise. The landowner would like to place a new fence and loading dock within 15 feet of the landward levee toe. Details are not yet fully disclosed to us. The landowner's latest proposal suggested that they could meet their own needs and provide a minimum of 13 feet of clear and unobstructed ground between their proposed fence and the landward levee toe. While this doesn't strictly satisfy the USACE guidelines you've brought to our attention through the Periodic Inspection process, it appears to be a good faith attempt. At this time, I'm not writing to ask for USACE approval to vary from the 15-foot minimum inspection width, but instead I'm wondering if another inexpensive solution might be possible. It occurs to me that the proposed loading dock will be a few feet above the existing grade. What if the existing grade between the building and levee was also brought up a foot or two? This could increase the width of level ground in this area (by burying the bottom of the levee slope), potentially enough to meet the landowner's needs while also giving us a clear 15-foot corridor along the toe. Do you see any functional reason that this approach could not work? Any concerns or pitfalls?

Larson@Tukwi[aWA.gov] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2012 4:00 PM To: Levesque, Andy Cc: Bean, Tom; Koon, John; Rice, Jennifer Subject: RE: Rainier - Proposed Fence Line Andy, Thanks for the reply. I have been in contact with Bruce Blunt of Rainier Industries to get you some answers to your questions. 1. It appears the proposed fence follows the outlines of some kind of raised loading dock; this isn't called out with a label or graphic device that I can see, but it seems to be there, as stairs are shown at each end. No stairs are there at present, so this indicates some type of raised platform is proposed. Is this part of a construction proposal under review by the city? They are planning on constructing a raised loading dock as shown on the plan. Currently, there exists a loading dock on a portion of the back (see attached photos). They would expand this both in width and length to allow them to operate a forklift between the two doors to transport materials between their shop. The City has not seen plans yet for this improvement. Their original plan called for fencing a larger area and then coming back at a later date to reconstruct the dock. 2. Tom is concerned that a raised platform here could be seen by the Corps as just another encroachment. If it is planned, can we see the plans, and discuss it with you or your permitting staff? The fence was planned as the first step in this project followed by the expansion of the loading dock. They have not submitted yet on the dock project and are waiting to see if the District will support them on their plan or not. At this point it sounds like the new dock will be constructed out of concrete similar to the existing dock. if you have a different method of construction that you feel is less intrusive on the levee please let me know so l can discuss this with Bruce. 3. Altogether, Tom and I would just as soon see a proposal to keep the new fence and all other encroachments 15 feet away from the existing levee toe. We understand you are proposing a compromise for a portion of the site at 13 feet. Once we can figure out what is planned in the other 2 feet, we'll be in a better position to reply. The reason they are asking for the extra room is that the forklift they use needs 12'6" of room to turn around. So they are asking for 14 feet so they have a little room for error. This extra room will require either a concrete or another raised platform suitable to drive the forklift on.

The drawing is scaled to print on D-s paper (34"x22") so the text and dims will ear very small if you plot this on smaller paper. I've printed it on 11 x17 paper and at that size the notes and dims can still be seen. As I mentioned, Rainier has the need to safely and securely move product between the various production departments in our building. As we have grown and diversified it has become necessary to add the ability to move product on the outside of the building. Almost everything we build is custom and the size of what we move is only limited by what we can fit through our doors and over the roads. We feel strongly that we need a minimum 14-foot wide space to safely move product along the west side of our building. We also need to keep this area secure (fenced). The attached drawing shows the landward toe of the levee slope as an orange line. The proposed (new) fence is red and the exiting fence is blue. There is also a dashed line that represents the 15-feet clearance from the levee toe. You can see that the north end of the fence extends into the 15-foot boundary by 2-feet. Since the levee toe is not parallel to our building, that amount tapers to 0 about 158-feet south. Please let us know if we can proceed with the fencing plan as illustrated in the attached drawing.

All remain in effect, as none are superseded by the more recent, with the exception that the March 19, 1999 easement recorded under Assessor's file number 9903231694 (enclosed) explicitly superseded and replaced all earlier easement over the Glacier Property only. For the site in question, the earliest easement (5222050) is dated to 1960 and grants reasonable access, apparently over the entire parcel, to construct and maintain bank protection. This is followed by a 1963 easement (5596236) which is explicitly includes "flood control works," and which explicitly extends "over and through, under, along and across all or any part of that certain parcel of land." Then, in 1974, the commercial plat recorded under Assessor's File No. 7408070363 drew a surveyed easement line established 30 feet landward from the riverward edge of the top of bank as surveyed at that time. Again, none of the subsequent recordings has eliminated rights granted under the earlier ones. So, essentially, the rights remain as established in 1960 and 1963.
