State of Washington
Agreement WQC-2025-Tukwil-00039
WATER QUALITY COMBINED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY
AND
CITY OF TUKWILA PUBLIC WORKS
This is a binding Agreement entered into by and between the State of Washington, Department of Ecology, hereinafter
referred to as "ECOLOGY" and the CITY OF TUKWILA PUBLIC WORKS, hereinafter referred to as the "RECIPIENT" to carry
out with the provided funds, the activities described herein.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Project Title: Stormwater Quality Retrofit Program Part 2
Total Cost: $1,805,745.00
Total Eligible Cost: $1,805,744.71
Ecology Share: $1,534,883.00
Recipient Share: $ 270,861.71
The Effective Date of this Agreement is: 7/1/2024
The Expiration Date of this Agreement is no later than: 6/30/2027
Project Type: Stormwater Facility
Protect Short Description: (500-character limit, includes spaces)
This project will improve water quality in the Green-Duwamish River through the installation of Modular Wetland
Systems, or an ECOLOGY -approved equivalent, for two outfalls in the City of Tukwila: one along East Marginal Way and
the other along Starfire Way/Fort Dent Way. This project will provide water quality treatment for total suspended solids
(TSS) and dissolved copper and zinc.
Project Long Description: (4,000-character limit, includes spaces)
The project will improve water quality in the Green-Duwamish River by treating stormwater outfall discharges from two
municipal drainage basins serving a portion of East Marginal Way and Starfire Way/Fort Dent Way in the City of Tukwila.
The RECIPIENT will construct Modular Wetland System best management practices (BMPs), or an ECOLOGY -approved
equivalent, at two sites designed under a previous ECOLOGY stormwater grant, WQC-2017-Tukwil-00158. The RECIPIENT
selected these BMPs because they are already being implemented elsewhere in the city and their use will streamline
maintenance materials and knowledge, and they have been working well.
19
The Duwamish River starts at the confluence of the Green and Black Rivers in City of Tukwila and discharges into Puget
Sound at Elliott Bay between Alki Beach and downtown Seattle. The Duwamish River is classified as a Category 5, 303(d)-
listed waterbody due to impairments from pH, temperature, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other industrial
pollutants. The U.S. EPA declared Duwamish River a Superfund site and administers clean-up efforts. The Green-
Duwamish River is also home to threatened Chinook and Coho salmon and bull trout, as well as other species of
anadromous fish, resident trout, and other aquatic species.
The first project site, East Marginal Way, is a busy two-lane arterial roadway adjacent to Sound Transit Light Rail
guideway, and is an important corridor for industrial business use as well as a connector for the Allentown and
Duwamish residential neighborhoods. Untreated stormwater for this area is piped to the outfall, which discharges
directly into the Duwamish River just upstream from the RECIPIENT's two -acre Duwamish Gardens habitat restoration
site (2016) and King County's five -acre Chinook Wind mitigation site (2023). The RECIPIENT will construct a Modular
Wetland System (or ECOLOGY -approved equivalent) to collect and treat stormwater from the 22.7-acre industrial and
urban contributing basin, including a 2.29-acre pollution generating impervious surface (PGIS) sub -basin.
The second project site covers the intersection of Fort Dent Way and Starfire Way, which is a two-lane, collector
roadway serving commercial land uses such as business parks and hotels, and recreational use at Fort Dent Park, the
home of Starfire Sports. Currently, untreated stormwater runoff from this area is piped to the outfall, which discharges
directly into the Duwamish River. The RECIPIENT will construct a second Modular Wetland System (or ECOLOGY -
accepted equivalent) to collect and treat roadway stormwater runoff from the 17.1 acre industrial and urban
contributing basin, including a 1.26-acre PGIS sub -basin.
For both sites, the RECIPIENT will also install necessary conveyance to complement the treatment systems described
above. This project will provide water quality treatment for total suspended solids (TSS) and dissolved metals (copper
and zinc) for a total contributing basin of 39.8 acres, and 3.55 acres total PGIS of industrial and urban stormwater
roadway runoff. This stormwater treatment will improve water quality conditions in the lower Duwamish River and
Puget Sound for aquatic species including threatened Chinook and Coho salmon and bull trout, as well as provide human
health protection for those who consume fish or come in contact with the Duwamish River.
Overall Goal: (1,000-character limit, includes spaces)
This project will help protect and restore water quality in Washington state by reducing stormwater impacts from
existing infrastructure and development.

property rights being acquired, and whether or not those rights are being acquired in perpetuity (see options below).
The RECIPIENT shall use language provided by ECOLOGY, to record the executed document in the County where the real
property lies, and to provide a copy of the recorded document to ECOLOGY.
Documentation Options:
1. Deed of Right. The Deed of Right conveys to the people of the state of Washington the right to preserve, protect,
and/or use the property for public purposes consistent with the fund source. RECIPIENTs shall use this document when
acquiring real property rights that include the underlying land. This document may also be applicable for those

ECOLOGY approval on the draft language prior to executing the deed of right.
2. Assignment of Rights. The Assignment of Rights document transfers certain rights such as access and enforcement to
ECOLOGY. The RECIPIENT shall use this document when an easement or lease is being acquired for water quality and
habitat conservation. The Assignment of Rights requires the signature of the underlying landowner and must be
incorporated by reference in the easement document.
3. Easements and Leases. The RECIPIENT may incorporate required language from the Deed of Right or Assignment of
Rights directly into the easement or lease document, thereby eliminating the requirement for a separate document.
Language will depend on the situation; therefore, the RECIPIENT must obtain ECOLOGY approval on the draft language
prior to executing the easement or lease.

costs incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination.
Failure to Commence Work. ECOLOGY reserves the right to terminate this Agreement if RECIPIENT fails to commence
work on the project funded within four (4) months after the effective date of this Agreement, or by any date mutually
agreed upon in writing for commencement of work, or the time period defined within the Scope of Work.
Non -Performance. The obligation of ECOLOGY to the RECIPIENT is contingent upon satisfactory performance by the
RECIPIENT of all of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event the RECIPIENT unjustifiably fails, in the opinion of
ECOLOGY, to perform any obligation required of it by this Agreement, ECOLOGY may refuse to pay any further funds,

determined.

of ECOLOGY, with a thirty (30) calendar days prior written notification to the RECIPIENT, except as noted below. If this
Agreement is so terminated, the parties shall be liable only for performance rendered or costs incurred in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination.
Non -Allocation of Funds. ECOLOGY's ability to make payments is contingent on availability of funding. In the event
funding from state, federal or other sources is withdrawn, reduced, or limited in any way after the effective date and
prior to the completion or expiration date of this Agreement, ECOLOGY, at its sole discretion, may elect to terminate the
Agreement, in whole or part, or renegotiate the Agreement, subject to new funding limitations or conditions. ECOLOGY
may also elect to suspend performance of the Agreement until ECOLOGY determines the funding insufficiency is
resolved. ECOLOGY may exercise any of these options with no notification or restrictions, although ECOLOGY will make a
reasonable attempt to provide notice.
In the event of termination or suspension, ECOLOGY will reimburse eligible costs incurred by the RECIPIENT through the
effective date of termination or suspension. Reimbursed costs must be agreed to by ECOLOGY and the RECIPIENT. In no
event shall ECOLOGY's reimbursement exceed ECOLOGY's total responsibility under the Agreement and any
amendments.
If payments have been discontinued by ECOLOGY due to unavailable funds, the RECIPIENT shall not be obligated to
repay monies which had been paid to the RECIPIENT prior to such termination.
RECIPIENT's obligation to continue or complete the work described in this Agreement shall be contingent upon
availability of funds by the RECIPIENT's governing body.
61

agreement.

materials prepared by the RECIPIENT under this Agreement, at the option of ECOLOGY, will become property of
ECOLOGY and the RECIPIENT shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work
completed on such documents and other materials.

accordance with Recovery of Funds, identified herein.

Washington is named as an express third party beneficiary of such subcontracts with full rights as such.

and will not be construed as a modification of the terms of this Agreement unless stated as such in writing by the
authorized representative of ECOLOGY.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance & Governance Committee
FROM: Tony Cullerton, Interim Finance Director
BY: Cindy Wilkins, Fiscal Specialist
CC: Mayor McLeod
DATE: September 23, 2024
SUBJECT: 2024 Reporting of Unclaimed Property to the Washington State Department
of Revenue
ISSUE
Annual reporting of outstanding and unredeemed accounts payable claims.
BACKGROUND
Each year by November 1st, the City of Tukwila reports abandoned or unclaimed property that is
owed either to individuals or business vendors to the Washington State Department of Revenue
Unclaimed Property Section and removes these items from the accounting records. All local
governments are required to report unclaimed property except unclaimed restitution. Normal
restitution is then reported each year by the County Treasurer to the State Treasurer.
Current Finance Department policy dictates that all abandoned or unclaimed property be
reported annually to the Washington State Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section
through the Council approved resolution process.
DISCUSSION
For the 2024 unclaimed property report year, reporting of abandoned or unclaimed property
totals $162.49 comprised of General Fund Accounts Payable Claims checks.
To the extent possible, those individuals and businesses with unclaimed accounts payable
claims checks have been notified by the City through "good faith" effort of being mailed due
diligence letters. These individuals and businesses have either not responded to the due
diligence notifications and/or cannot be located to claim their property.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the Resolution declaring the cancellation of unclaimed
General Fund accounts payable claims and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the
October 7, 2024 Regular Council Meeting.
