Procedure of Survey
1. Taxpayers were obtained from the King County Department of
Assessments Tax Records. All owners are listed above.
2. After the list of taxpayers was completed, independent checks
were made to determine if individual taxpayers reside at each
address. These checks consisted of site visit interviews and
phone book listings.
In the case where a resident other than the taxpayer resides
at a particular address, SEPA information was sent to both the
resident and the taxpayer. When the taxpayer's address could
not be obtained or when it could not be verified if a taxpayer
resides at a particular address, two copies of the SEPA
information were sent to the resident with a note that one
copy was for the taxpayer.

Development
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL THRESHOLD DETERAIIINATION
APPLICATION NO.
The Environmental Checklist you have submitted has been reviewed by this office and
other City staff. We have determined that the proposal will not have a probable
significant adverse impact on the environment. As a result, an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) is not required to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA). A copy of this determination is enclosed.
A fifteen (15) day comment period is required by the SEPA Rules (WAC 197-11-340).
A notice inviting comments was published in the Federal Way News on November 1.
1991. At the end of the comment period, the Department will determine if the DNS
should be withdrawn, modified, or issued as proposed. All final determinations may be
appealed within 14 days following the comment deadline. No licenses, permits or
approvals will be issued until completion of the appeal period.
Our decision not to require an EIS does not mean that the license, permit or approval you
are seeking from the City has been granted. Approval or denial of the proposal will be
made by the appropriate administrative or legislative body vested with that authority. The
environmental record is considered by the decision maker(s) and conditions will be
imposed to reduce identified environmental impacts as long as the conditions are based
on adopted and designated City policy.
After a final decision has been made on your proposal (i.e., after a permit has been
issued or City Council action taken, as applicable), you may, but are not required to,
publish a Notice of Action as forth in RCW 43.21C.075. The Notice of Action sets
forth a time period after which no legal challenges regarding the proposal's compliance
with SEPA can be made. A copy of the Notice of Action form and copies of RCW
43.21C.080 and WAC 197-11-680 providing instructions for giving this notice are
available from the Department of Community Development.

The City is not responsible for publishing the Notice of Action. However, the City is
responsible for giving a notice (to parties of record) stating the date for commencing a
judicial appeal
(including the SEPA portion of that appeal) if your proposal is one for which the City's
action on it has a specified time period within which any court appeals must be made.

October 29, 1991
Project Name: 16th Avenue S.W. Street Improvements
Applicant: City of Federal Way Phone: 661-4136
Contact: Ken Miller, Street Systems Manager Phone: 661-4136
Location: West side of 16th Avenue S.W., between S.W. 307th Place
S.W. and 306th Place S.W.
S-T-R: 7-21-3
Parcel Size: N/A.
Type of Action: SEPA determination.
Proposal: Widen 16th Avenue S.W. from 18 feet to 36 feet with sidewalk for approximately
400 linear feet along the west side.
Existing Zoning: N/A.
Proposed Zoning: N/A.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: N/A.
A. Background: Concur with checklist.
B. Environmental Elements:
1. Earth: Concur with checklist. An erosion control plan is required to be approved and
implemented in accordance with the City's engineering standards, in conjunction with
future filling, grading and construction activities.
2. Air: Short term impacts to air quality will occur during construction and paving
operations. Longer term impacts due to vehicle emissions will vary in level according
to the amount of traffic generated in the future by the proposal.
FINAL STAFF EVALUATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
October 29, 1991

Construction activity, especially site preparation work, will contribute to a short term increase
in local suspended particulate levels. Construction activity also contributes to carbon monoxide
levels through the operation of construction machinery, the use of trucks to deliver equipment
and materials, and worker access to the site by automobile. The activities also involve emissions
of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen, potentially elevating the level of photochemical
oxidants, such as ozone, in the ambient air. The City is required to ensure compliance of
construction activities and equipment operation with regional air quality standards and
requirements.
3. Water: As with all paved, developed areas, the street will contribute some pollutants to
ground and surface waters as these will be washed off by storm drainage across the street
surface. Pollutants which accumulate on paved surfaces include heavy metals,
petrochemicals and other substances. Some of these pollutants could be separated out of
the storm water runoff to a certain extent, by installing an oil/water separator in catch
basins or by the use of grass -lined swales to transport run-off off -site or into on -site
detention/retention ponds.
The proposed project does not exceed minimum thresholds specified in the 1990 Surface Water
Design Manual adopted by the City of Federal Way. Therefore only water quality requirements
of the 1990 Surface Water Design Manual will apply to this project. Water quality facilities will
be designed within an underground vault.
4. Plants: Approximately 15 significant trees will be removed to accommodate the proposed
street widening. These trees will be replaced in the form of street tree plantings along the
sidewalk of the new street section.
5. Animals: The site most probably provides habitat for small mammals, rodents and reptiles
as well as songbirds and insects. These animals will all be eliminated or displaced by the
proposal.
6. Energy and Natural Resources: Concur with checklist.
7. Environmental Health: Concur with checklist.
8. Land and Shoreline Use:
8.a. Current use of the site and surrounding properties is as follows:
Site: Vacant
North: Adelaide Elementary School
South: Single Family Residential
FINAL STAFF EVALUATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST

9. Housing: Concur with checklist.
10. Aesthetics: The proposed street project will alter the appearance of the east edge of
Adelaide Park which is currently forested.
11. Light and Glare: Concur with checklist.
12. Recreation: Concur with checklist.
13. Historic and Cultural Presentation: Concur with checklist.
14. Transportation: Concur with checklist.
15. Public Services: Concur with checklist.
16. Utilities: Concur with checklist.
C. Conclusion: The proposal can be found to not have a probable significant adverse impact
on the environment. The City reserves the right to review any future revisions or alterations
to the site or to the proposal in order to determine the environmental significance or
non -significance of the project at that point in time.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 11, 1991
TO: Greg Fewins
FROM: Ron Garrow
SUBJECT: 16th Avenue Southwest Street Improvements
The Public Works Department proposes to widen 16th Avenue Southwest between
Southwest 306th Place and Southwest 307th Place. Improvements consists of the
widening of pavement to 36 feet of paved surfacing with curb, gutter and sidewalk
along the west side.
A review of the plans and SEPA checklist, the following comments are submitted:
General
1. The project proposes to increase impervious area on the site by greater than
5000 square feet. Per the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual,
detention or infiltration facilities are required for storm water runoff control.
This will also require the submittal of a Technical Information Report along
with the design of the facilities for approval prior to construction. Design of
any of these facilities shall be in accordance with the KCSWDM.
2. City of Federal Way zoning code chapter 10 specifies the use of a 4 foot
wide landscape strip between the curb and sidewalk. The proposed
improvements do not make this provision.
SEPA
Al The street to be widened lies along a Section and Range line. Existing
improvements are in Section 7, Township 21 N, Range 4E. The new
improvements are in Section 12, Township 21 N, Range 3E.
133b1 If infiltration systems are used for stormwater runoff control, surface waters
will be discharged to ground waters.
133c1 Stormwater must be conveyed to a detention facility prior to release into the
existing enclosed storm drain system. Connection to the existing system
may be avoided by utilizing an infiltration system.
B3c2 Oil from the roadway could enter ground or surface waters if appropriate
separation is not provided prior to discharge from the site.
136a Fossil fuels well be required to power construction equipment.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all govern-
mental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making deci-
sions. 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 pro-
posal. 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 hest 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 it a
question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Com-
plete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and land-
mark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the govern-
mental 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 informa-
tion reasonably related to determining if there may he significant adverse impact.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be an-
swered "does not apply". IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR
NONPROJECT ACTIONS (Part D).
For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project", -applicant",
and -property or site" should be read as "proposal", "proposer", and "affected geograph-
ic area," respectively.
