An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for non -project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." In addition, complete the Supplemental Sheet for Non -Project Actions (part D). For non -project actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. The purpose of the project is to increase the capacity and safety of the intersection at 21st Avenue SW and SW 336th Street. This proposed project includes roadway improvements along 21 st Avenue SW from SW 334th Street to SW 338th Street, SW 336th Street from 21 st Avenue SW to 26th Place SW, and SW Campus Drive from 21st Avenue SW to 19th Avenue SW. The proposed project would result in the widening (to the north) of SW 336th Street to provide dual left -turn lanes eastbound and westbound as well as a westbound right -turn lane. In addition, a new traffic signal will be installed approximately 800 feet west of the 21 st Avenue SW/SW 336th Street intersection to allow for left turn access into adjacent businesses and the signal will also allow a controlled pedestrian crossing. The traffic signal at 21st Avenue SW and SW 336th Street will be replaced. This project will also include access control along both 21st Avenue SW and SW 336th Street by installing a median to prevent left hand turns. Associated work will include signal modifications, utility relocation/adjustment, storm drain system improvements, paving, curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, signing, channelization and landscaping. The proposed project also installs new conduit for a new traffic signal interconnect. The conduit will be installed beyond the roadway improvement limits described above, extending to 10th Avenue SW along SW Campus Drive and to SW 344th Street along 21st Avenue SW. Proposed Improvements for the 21st Avenue SW at SW 336th Street / SW Campus Drive intersection include the following: • Roadway widening as required to provide dual left turn lanes. • Installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk primarily along the north side of the roadway. • Installation of raised center median curbing midblock to control access. • Upgraded stormwater collection, treatment and detention facilities. • Upgrades to existing roadway illumination systems • Replacement of existing signal at 21 st Avenue SW and SW 336th Street New traffic signals at the 2400 block of SW 336th Street. • Installation of conduit to allow for future fiber interconnect and other ITS elements connecting the project's traffic signals to existing fiber at the intersection of 9th Avenue S and S 348th Street • Potential use of Low Impact Development techniques for stormwater management including pervious materials for sidewalks. • Potential use of light emitting diode (LED) traffic signals in the new and replacement signals to conserve electricity. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address if any, and section, township, and range if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. The proposed project is located within the City of Federal Way, King County Washington (Section 13, Township 21 North, Range 3E). The limits of the proposed project extend along 21 st Avenue SW from SW 334th Street to SW 338th Street and along SW 336th Street/SW Campus Drive from 26th Place SW to 9th Avenue S. Refer to Figure 1 (Vicinity Map) for the location of the proposed project. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 3 of 16 k:\HandoutAEnvironmental Checklist B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS EARTH a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other. Flat. The project area is generally flat with some grades along SW Campus Drive. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? There are no steep slopes within the project area. The steepest slopes within the project alignment are along SW Campus Street, between 21 st Avenue SW and 10th Avenue SW and are about 2-percent. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, mulch)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The project area consists primarily of impervious surfaces (i.e. roadways, parking lots, driveways). The City of Federal Way Regional Soils maps indicate that the soils along SW 336th Street/SW Campus Drive as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam soils and along 21"` Avenue SW as Arents Alderwood Material. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. City of Federal Way Critical Areas maps indicate no presence of seismic, landslide or erosion hazard areas within the project location. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of.any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. About 3,000 cubic yards of excavation is proposed for road widening construction. Commercial driveways will be reconfigured and graded to match existing parking lots to match new roadway widths. Fill placement is not proposed. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Any soils exposed during construction are subject to erosion. Erosion could also occur if any of the excavated soil is stockpiled. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Currently over 95-percent of the project area is comprised of impervious surfaces and the proposed project results in a minor increase of impervious surfaces due to roadway widening which removes some landscaped areas. The City is considering the use of pervious surface material for the sidewalks as part of the proposed project improvements to minimize the amount of impervious surface created. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any. During construction, standard best management practices (BMPs), including, but not limited to, inlet protection, street sweeping, water bypass, and temporary cover measures, will be used to control erosion. A stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) will be developed for the proposed project as well as temporary erosion and sediment control plans. No measures would be required during operation. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 5 of 16 k:�Handouts\Environmental Checklist 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke, etc.) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantifies if known. During construction, the use of construction equipment will generate temporary dust related to excavation and grading operations. Construction activities will require diesel and gasoline powered construction equipment that would emit byproducts from combustion. During operation, there are no impacts associated with any increases in emissions. Currently the intersection of 21st Avenue SW & SW 336th Street is operating near capacity with substantial vehicle queuing back-ups and in the future these conditions are expected to worsen with the intersection operating over -capacity. The project is located within a carbon monoxide (CO) maintenance area, and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) guidelines state that any project within a CO maintenance area that changes traffic flow, increases capacity, adds lanes, or adds signals requires a quantitative CO project -level analysis. In order to complete this analysis, each intersection in the project area with a proposed change was screened to identify which intersections have overall Level of Service (LOS) D, E, or F and a traffic signal. Environmental Protection Agency guidance states that intersections with a level of service (LOS) of A, B, or C are not likely to cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Based upon these criteria, the only intersection to meet the requirements for modeling was the 21 st Avenue SW & SW 336th Street/SW Campus Drive intersection. The Washington State Intersection Screening Tool (WASIST) was used to model both the 1- hr CO and 8-hr CO concentrations. The results of the WASIST modeling are provided in Table 1. Since all values were below the NAAQS for 1-hour CO and 8-hour CO, the proposed project is not expected to cause or contribute to the exceedance of the NAAQS.

All concentrations include a background concentration of 3.0 ppm b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. No. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any. During construction the following measures are proposed to reduce or control emissions and other impacts to air: • Construction equipment equipped with required functioning emission control • Cover loads on trucks, as needed • Wet any exposed soils to minimize dust, as needed During operation no measures are required. 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, and wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. There are no surface water bodies located within the project area. There are two stormwater ponds, which are maintained by the City of Federal Way located in the western portion of the project area. Both ponds are located near 25th Place SW with one of the ponds north of SW 336th Street and the other south of SW 336th Street. 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. No. There are no surface water bodies that would be impacted. Construction activities would be within 200 feet of the stormwater ponds, but the ponds are not Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 7 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist considered either surface water bodies or critical areas per Title 15, Shoreline Management, of the City of Federal Way code. 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. Indicate the source of fill material. None. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantifies if known. No. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan. No. 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 groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. Groundwater withdrawal is not anticipated. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). 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. No waste material would be discharged into the ground from any source. C. Water Runoff (including stormwater) 1) Describe the source of runoff (including stormwater) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. Stormwater runoff from the project site would be generated from the roadway and sidewalk areas. The runoff on SW 336th Street west of the 21 st Avenue SW intersection drains west and will be collected and discharged to an existing stormwater pond (part of the regional stormwater system). Flow control and water quality treatment will be provided in the two stormwater ponds referenced in section 3.a.1 before runoff is discharge to Puget Sound. Stormwater runoff from within the intersection of 21 st Avenue SW and the portion of SW 336th Street east of 21st Avenue SW, will be collected and treated before being discharged to existing stormdrains draining to the Panther Lake infiltration facility. The City is considering the use of impervious surface materials for sidewalks„ which would also work to minimize the amount of surface runoff. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. No waste materials would enter ground or surface water. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 8 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any. A SWPPP will be prepared prior to construction and a temporary erosion control plan using best management practices (BMPs) will also be prepared and used to control runoff during construction. During operation the existing stormwater system will be used to control surface runoff. 4. PLANTS a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site. x deciduous tree: alder, maple, aspen, other x everareen tree: fir, cedar, pine, other shrubs x grass pasture crop or grain wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bulrush, skunk cabbage, other water plant: water lily, eelgrass, milfoil, other _other types of vegetation b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Construction will require the removal of vegetation along the north side of SW 336th Street, along the west side of 21st Avenue SW, and at the southeast corner of 21st Avenue SW and SW 336th Street. Vegetation to be removed includes street trees, grass strip between the sidewalk and curb, and shrubs at back of sidewalks. New street trees (same species as existing) will be planted along the new widened curb line. 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. Along north side of SW 336th Street (west of 21st Avenue SW), landscaping between the back of sidewalk and the parking lot will be removed for the roadway widening. Street trees (in tree pits with tree grates) will be planted along the new sidewalk. The tree species will be consistent with the existing trees being removed. 5. ANIMALS a. Circle any birds and animals that have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site. birds: hawk, heron, eagle, ONGBIRD , other: mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other: fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other: b.

Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 9 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist Preservation and enhancement measures are not proposed. There are no impacts. 6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc. Operation of the completed project will require electricity for the operation of the signals. The amount of electricity required for the new signal will not require any new sources of energy. b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe. No. c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any. The replacement of the existing signal at 21 st Avenue SW and SW 336th Street and the new traffic signals at the 2400 block of SW 336th Street would all be equipped with LED traffic signals. LED street lighting will also be used. LED traffic signals and lighting have a lower power consumption compared to traditional traffic signals and lighting and also have a longer life which also reduces maintenance costs. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste that could occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe. During construction, there is potential for leaking fuel from construction equipment which could result in small petroleum spills if not detected. During operation, no health hazard impacts are anticipated. 1) Describe special emergency services that might be required.
