Hi,
I met with Mark this morning and asked him to prioritize this. He got back to me earlier — I'll forward his email
momentarily (spoiler alert, he agrees that we need to issue a DNS and provide notice).
on the submittal, we need the following:
�f Master Land Use Application (1)
Adoption Form (1)
/flans showing the proposed improvements (4 sets)
+/ Addressed envelopes (1 set for properties within 300-foot_radius of project)
i /Map showing parcels included in 300-foot radius (1)
i' Fire Department SEPA review fee of $50 (not our fee so we can't waive it) C N -10 04AA LA
The above is for SEPA only. If a UPIII is required (generally for improvements outside the r-o-w) there may be a few more
items required — a title report for example. I've included a master land use and handout that explains how to obtain
mailing labels.
The best way to submit this is by signing into the sign-up sheet at the front counter and then submit the application.
Let me know if you have any questions.

populations will be affected equally. Long term impacts are not anticipated. There may be minor changes in noise levels
due to road widening and addition of thru travel lanes. There will be no displacements/relocations to individual residences.
There will be one partial acquisition to a commercial business. Access to all properties will be maintained at all times. See
attached EJ memo.

Effect Determinations for ESA and EFH
If each of the questions in the preceding section resulted in a "No" response or if any of the questions were checked "Yes,"
but adequate justification can be provided to support a "no effect" determination, then check "No Effect" below. If this
checklist cannot be used for Section 7 compliance (i.e., adequate justification cannot be provided or a "may effect"
determination is anticipated), a separate biological assessment document is required.

Analysis for No Effects Determination — If there are any Yes answers to quesxions in Part 5, additional analysis
is required. Please attach additional sheets if needed.
As the project is located in a heavily developed and urbanized area, there are no suitable habitats for listed species
and the project will therefore have no effect to listed species. The surrounding area is zoned as community
business, commercial enterprise, and residential. There are no open water bodies within or adjacent to project
limits. Standard erosion and sediment control will be implemented prior to construction and regularly maintained
throughout. This may include, but is not limited to high visibility fencing, silt fence, straw wattle, and inlet
protection. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and a Spill Prevention and Countermeasures plan will be
prepared prior to construction and followed during construction.

RE: Pacific Hwy Phase V Project
Dear Mr. Chase,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Pacific Hwy Phase V Project. Pierce Transit has 8 bus
stops within the project. Per our conversation we agree to the following changes at the following bus stops.
Please note that the stop numbers correspond to the bus stop numbers provided on the site plans:
#2072: relocate 60' S from the end of radius of S 356th St
#2071: relocate 60' N from the end of radius of S 356th St
#2069: this stop needs to be relocated 60' south from the centerline of the sidewalk ramp to the driveway
#2067: relocate 20' south of the end of radius of S 344th St. Note that bench will also be relocated with
the stop
#2066: relocate 60' S of 16th Ave S.
Furthermore, Pierce Transit approves of the traffic sign in which KPG asked for feedback.
I concur with the selected changes to Pierce Transit's bus stops. If you have any questions or comments,
please contact Monica Adams, Senior Planner at 253-581-8130, or madamskpiercetransit.org.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ben Han I Planner II

Hazardous Materials Memo CDs
Pacific Highway S HOV Lanes Phase V
This memo is provided to identify any potential sources of contamination within or immediately
adjacent to the proposed project that may be encountered during project activities. The proposed
project is located on approximately 1.47 miles of Pacific Highway S (SR99) from S 336 Street to
S 359th Street within Sections 20 and 29 of Range 04E, Township 21N in the City of Federal
Way.
Existing Conditions
The project is located in a heavily developed urban commercial and industrial area and therefore
has the potential for contamination to be encountered in the project vicinity. The surrounding
areas are zoned as community business, commercial enterprise, single family (1 unit/35,000
square feet), and single family (1 unit/5 acres). The primary source of hydrology in the project
vicinity is West Hylebos Creek and its associated tributary. Groundwater is assumed to flow to
the south and/or west. According to Department of Ecology (Ecology) well logs, depth to the
water table in the vicinity of Pacific Highway is about 6 feet in the wet season and up to 26 feet
in dry season.
Project Description
The project proposes to widen Pacific Highway in order to add HOV lanes for both directions,
curb, gutter, and sidewalk on both sides, medians, landscaping, new and modified signal
systems, roadway channelization, street lighting, undergrounding of overhead utilities, and
stormwater drainage system improvements. Water and sewer line relocations will be provided
where necessary. An average of 2 — 3 feet of excavation will be required for general roadway
construction. Utility excavation depths will typically be 4 — 6 feet deep and up to 12 feet at
isolated utility structure locations. Approximately 2.34 acres of right-of-way acquisition will be
required including one building impact. This property was not included in the list of sites with
potential contamination.
Facility/Site Review
A search of the Department of Ecology's (Ecology) Facility/Site map database was conducted on
April 11, 2014 to identify potential sources of contamination within a 0.5 mile radius of the
project. The search consisted of sites recorded under Ecology's toxics program including
voluntary cleanup sites (VCS), state cleanup sites (SCS), leaking underground storage tanks
(LUST), and underground storage tanks (UST). A map of the facilities/sites is attached and they
are shown in the table below. It should be noted that the points on the map may not represent the
actual location of the facility. An address search was conducted to verify this and any
discrepancies are noted in the table.

0 Sites located <0.1 mile from project limits
According to Ecology's Site/Facility database,.7 facilities/sites are located adjacent to project
limits (highlighted). The remaining sites listed on the above table are either down gradient from
the project or are too far away to have the potential to pose a liability to the project and will not
be further discussed. Upon further investigation of the 7 sites, six of them either have active
underground storage tanks that have not had a report of leakage, inactive USTs, or have
undergone cleanup and have a status of `no further action' (NFA) by the Department of Ecology.
These sites are assumed to be remediated and do not pose an impact to the project. They will be
briefly surnmarized below but are otherwise eliminated from further consideration.
Sites with tow likelihood of site impacts:
76841746 — Flower Market
This site is listed for having three USTs that are closed in place. There is no report of
contamination from this facility and it will have no impact on the project.
8282755 — Frease Property
According to Ecology's database, this site has a NFA status, determined in 2003 and does not
present a hazard to the project.
44532899 — Wright Company Inc
There was one UST that was previously removed. The site will not have an impact on the
project.
62832453 - Barkshire Panel Systems
This site had two USTs that were previously removed. The site will not have an impact on the
project.
43253571 - T Tnited RZ-ntaIs Northwest Inc Federal Way
This site had one USTs that was previously removed. The site will not have an impact on the
project.
2485 - T K Caudio Trust
This site was recorded as having a LUST but has been determined by Ecology to have a NFA
status, determined in 1994 and does not pose an impact to the project.
The seventh site is located adjacent to project limits and has a history of release cleanup
activities associated with it. It will be discussed in the following:
Site with moderate — high potential for i fact:
22813117 - Chevron 200028
The remaining site is 22813117, a Chevron gas station located at 34727 Pacific Hwy S, at the
northwest corner of the intersection at Pacific Highway S and S 3481h Street. It was reported to
Ecology in 1990 and placed on the LUST list. It was found to have benzene and gasoline
contamination in the soil at concentrations above MTCA Method A cleanup levels. There is no
known contamination to the groundwater. According to Ecology's Site Hazard Assessment
(SHA) completed in November 2013 (attached), remediation was attempted in 1994 when five
USTs were removed along with associated pipelines and pump islands. The excavated soils were
treated and disposed of. New USTs were installed in a UST basin south of the station building.
There is still confirmed benzene and gasoline contamination in the soil surrounding the
northernmost pump island. During remedial work at this site, groundwater was suspected to be at
13 — 25 feet below ground surface. The SHA gave the site an overall hazard ranking of 5, where
1 represents the highest relative risk to human health and/or the environment relative to all other
Washington State sites and 5 is the lowest.
A small strip of right-of-way will be required from the eastern part of this property. As work will
encroach onto the gas station property, there is the potential to encounter benzene and gasoline
contaminated soils during construction. Work to be performed at this location includes
replacement of existing curb, gutter and sidewalk, installation of irrigation system, restoration of
driveway, upgrade of storm drain facilities, installation of signal/illumination controller and
conduit, and the actual installation of luminaire and signal pole. An approximate 3.5 to 5 feet of
excavation are required for most of these activities, while up to 12 feet is required for the drilled
shaft foundation of the signal pole. A contaminated soil management and handling plan will be
prepared prior to construction. It will include measures to isolate the contaminated construction
area and prevent any stormwater runoff from entering or exiting the site and mixing with other
runoff. Soils from this area will be stockpiled and properly contained until testing can be
conducted. Contaminated soils shall be contained and disposed of at a permitted location in
accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Conclusion
All sites considered to have a potential to be a source of contamination to the project corridor
have been documented and discussed. Seven sites were identified within or immediately adjacent
to project activities. Six of them were ruled as being non -hazardous to the project as they have
USTs that have been removed or are inactive, or have been remediated and received a `no further
action' required status from the Department of Ecology and no longer are considered hazardous.
All other listed sites within half a mile from the project are either cross -gradient or down -
gradient, or are too far away from project activities to impact the project site. The only site
within the project area with the potential to impact the project is the Chevron station since there
is confirmed benzene and gasoline contamination to the soil. Excavation activities will encroach
on the property and therefore there is a potential to encounter contamination. According to
previous explorations in the area of up to 26 feet, groundwater is not expected to be encountered.
A contaminated soils management plan will be developed. All contaminated soils shall be
handled, contained, tested and disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
Based on the project description and proposed construction activities, it is concluded that no
significant, unavoidable adverse effects that cannot be mitigated for are expected to result from
the proposal.
Sincerely,
Ross Widener

SITE DESCRIPTION:
The Chevron 200028 site is a former service station and store located in Federal Way, King County,
Washington. The 0.89-acre property is located approximately 3,000 feet from Marlake and the West Hylebos
Wetlands, and zoned for commercial enterprise (CE) use.
Adjacent properties include a public storage facility to the north, retail stores, small business, and restaurants to
the east and south, and an animal hospital and various medical offices located to the west.
The site is currently operated as a gas station with convenience store by Chevron Texaco.
The site is currently a service station with underground storage tanks for gasoline and diesel. The station has
four dispenser islands, and USTs are located south of the building beneath a concrete slab.
The site is located on the northwest corner of Pacific Highway South and South 348th Street in Federal Way.
SITE BACKGROUND:
A summary of prior operations/tenants at the subject property is presented below.

2013 Chevron Service Station
SITE CONTAMINATION:
Actctlyliyylt
Gas station and convenience store
In 1990 the Chevron 200028 site was reported to Washington Department of Ecology and placed on the LUST list
with ID number 1256.
The site was reported to Ecology on February 21, 1990 after benzene was confirmed to be present at
concentrations above MTCA Method A cleanup levels in soil samples taken for a geotechnical analysis. Benzene
and gasoline contamination was confirmed to be present in soil around the northernmost pump island and canopy
foundation during UST removal in 1994.
In 1989, GeoEngineers was contracted to perform a geotechnical analysis of the property. They collected ten soil
borings in July and October 1989, and observed petroleum staining in the soil. Soil samples were analyzed for
BTEX, fuel hydrocarbons, and TPH. Benzene was reported at a concentration above MTCA Method A cleanup
levels in one sample, and all other detected concentrations were below cleanup levels.
PAST REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES:
In May and June 1994, five USTs were removed from the site as well as the associated pipelines and pump
islands. The USTs included two 12,000 gallon gasoline tanks, one 10,000 gallon gasoline tank, one 10,000
gallon diesel tank in the northeast corner of the site, and one 550 gallon abandoned heating oil tank south of the
building. The northern portion of the gasoline and diesel UST area was excavated to 13 ft bgs and the southern
SIZ HAZARD ASSESSMENT
Worksheet 1
Summary Score Sheet
portion was over -excavated to appproximately 26 ft bgs. Depths were based on results from PID field screening
of the soil. Soil samples were collected from the four sidewalls of the UST area at approximately 8 ft bgs, and
beneath each UST at approximately 26 ft bgs. Soil samples were collected from the excavation floor between 23
and 26 ft bgs, and from the sidewalls at 8 ft bgs. Gasoline, diesel, oil, BTEX and lead concentrations in those soil
samples were not above MTCA Method A cleanup levels at the time.
The pump islands were also removed in May and June 1994 during five separate excavations. PID field
screening of the soils was used to determine the excavation depth of 6 to 7 ft bgs. Soil samples were taken from
the floor of each excavation and analyzed for petroleum impacts. The excavation of the northernmost pump
island (PI-4) was extended to 10-12 ft bgs. The samples collected from pump island locations PI-1, PI-2, PI-3 (6-
7 ft bgs) did not exceed MTCA Method A cleanup levels. Samples from PI4 were above MTCA cleanup levels
for gasoline and BTEX. Further excavation of the contaminated soils could not be performed due to the proximity
to the canopy foundation. Before backfilling, the excavated soil was treated using ammonia sulfide fertilizer in an
attempt to enhance natural biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon constituents.
The product lines connecting the USTs to the pump islands were removed as well, and soil samples were
collected at depths ranging from 3 to 5 ft bgs. All samples contained concentrations of gasoline, diesel, oil,
BTEX, and lead below MTCA Method A cleanup levels.
An abandoned heating oil tank was removed from the south corner of the site. The UST was excavated to a
depth of 8 ft bgs. Bottom and sidewall soil samples were analyzed for diesel and oil. Oil was below detection
limits, and diesel was detected below MTCA Method A cleanup levels.
A new gasoline UST basin was excavated south of the station building to a depth of 15 ft bgs for the replacement
USTs. Product lines from a former pump island were encountered and removed from the excavation. Field
screening determined that no petroleum hydrocarbon impacted soil was observed, and no additional testing was
performed.
Approximately 1,023 cubic yards of non -contaminated soil and 530 cubic yards of contaminated soil were
disposed of offsite. Groundwater was not encountered during excavation.
CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS:
The site is located approximately half a mile from the West Hylebos Wetlands and park, which is maintained by
Earth Corps and Friends of the Hylebos.
Confirmed benzene and gasoline contamination in the soil surrounding the northernmost pump island remains at
the site.
The approximate depth to groundwater is 13-25 ft feet below ground surface, with groundwater flowing to the
southeast. Subsurface soils are dense, brown, fine to coarse sand with some silt, gravel, and cobbles.

SUBJECT: Analysis of Possible Project Impacts on Populations
DATE: 5/23/2014
In compliance with Presidential Executive Order 12898, DOT Order 5610.2, FHWA Order
6640.23, and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an environmental justice (EJ) analysis was
conducted for the Pacific Highway S HOV Lanes Phase V project in the City of Federal Way.
The purpose of this EJ analysis is to identify minority and low-income groups in the project area
and any impacts that may occur to these populations as a result of the proposed project. As right-
of-way acquisition is required for this project, further EJ documentation is being provided.
Minority and low-income groups were identified in a demographics study that utilized 2010
Census data and data from the American Community Survey obtained from EPA's EJ View web
application. The project area is represented by Census Tracts 303.14 and 303.04. Data within a
0.5 mile radius of the project area showed the following demographics:

It should be noted that the U.S Census Bureau defines race and Hispanic origin (also known as
ethnicity) as two separate and distinct concepts. Persons who identify themselves as Hispanic can
be of any race and are thus separated from the other races in the above table.
Local school data was also obtained. The nearest elementary school to project limits is Panther
Lake Elementary, located approximately 0.8 miles to the west. Another nearby school is Todd
Beamer High School, located approximately 0.47 miles to the east. According to the Office of
the Superintendent of Public Instruction — Washington State Report Card, these schools had the
following demographics for the 2012 — 2013 school year:

Both the Census and school data are attached. The project proposes to widen Pacific Highway
South in order to install HOV lanes in both directions from S 336th Street to S 359th Street in
both directions. It will also install curb, gutter, and side walk on both sides, center medians,
landscaping, street lighting, new and modified signal systems. Roadway channelization,
undergrounding of overhead utilities, and drainage system improvements will help improve
safety, mobility, and aesthetic character along Pacific Highway South. Approximately 2.34 acres
of right-of-way acquisition will be required. The majority of this will be strip takes for road
widening. There will be partial acquisition of one commercial property. There will be no
residential, acquisitions or relocation/displacement to any individuals.
These improvements will not lead to any significant long term impacts since they do not result in
the creation of new roads or road closures. Since there will be new through lanes, there will be a
change in noise. It is not anticipated that this work will result in increased traffic volumes but
will be able to accommodate future 2035 traffic projections. It is expected to improve mobility in
the area by providing an additional restricted lane and giving busses and carpoolers better access.
Access to businesses will be maintained at all times during construction. Short term noise
increases from construction equipment will be the primary impact during construction and would
affect all populations equally. It will be minimized by conducting the majority of construction
during normal business hours. Night time work may be necessary for up to 10% of activities
including rechannelization, final overlay, utility cutovers, traffic signal activation, and other
work that would be difficult to maintain daytime traffic flow. No detours will be required but
there will be temporary lane closures at times which will cause short term delays. Construction
will be phased such that minimal lane closures are necessary. The road will be rechannelized
during each phase so that 2 travel lanes are maintained in each direction with a turn lane at each
major cross street. No other social, environmental, or economic impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.
Pacific Highway South in the project area is served by both Metro Transit and Pierce Transit. A
search of King County Metro's website shows that Route 178 for Metro has stops near the
intersection of 348th Street and Pacific Highway South. Pierce County has stops for Routes 500
and 62 along the Pacific Highway S corridor; there are seven stops within project limits. It is
anticipated that all stops will remain in service throughout construction but may be temporarily
relocated at times. The new HOV lanes will accommodate these bus routes and upgrades to the
existing pedestrian facilities (sidewalk connectivity and improved illumination) will encourage
transit use in the area.
This project will benefit all populations equally by improving pedestrian access, safety, traffic
mobility, and aesthetics in the area. Based on the analysis presented in this memo, it is concluded
that EJ populations will not experience disproportionately high adverse. impacts as a result of this
project.

2006-2010 ACS 5-year Estimates: The American Community Survey (ACS) summary files provide nation-wide population and housing characteristic data at all
Census summary levels down to the Block Group level. This data was collected between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2010. ACS replaces the decennial
census sample data, and is not the 2010 Census population counts data. (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/#!fragment-3)
Margin of error (MOE): The MOE provides a measure of the uncertainty in the estimate due to sampling error in the ACS survey, Applying the MOE value yields
the confidence interval for the estimate. For example, an estimate value of 50 and +/- MOE of 5 means the true value is between 45 and 55 with a 90 percenet
certainty (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf). Maximum MOE is shown for each
value within study area.

INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the City of Federal Way (the City), Drayton Archaeology (DA) contracted with
Widener & Associates to conduct a cultural resources assessment for the proposed Pacific
Highway South HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) Lanes Phase V (S 340th St to S 359th St)
Project located in Federal Way, King County, Washington. The City is the project proponent and
they are seeking funds from Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) for the work. Due to the
involvement of a federal agency the project is subject to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended. Section 106 requires that federal agencies
having direct or indirect jurisdiction over a proposed project (e.g. an undertaking) must consider
the effect of the undertaking on historic properties that are or may be eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
DA's cultural resources assessment for this project consisted of background research, field
investigation and preparation of this report. Background review determined the area of potential
effects (APE) to be located in an area of low' probability for historic properties. Field
investigation included pedestrian survey, visual reconnaissance, and review of soil bore logs
previously conducted in the APE. Considering the low probability for historic properties to be
located in the APE, the absence of any evidence for historic properties to be encountered in the
APE, and the documented extent of fill deposits to be present within the APE, it is DA's
professional opinion that the project does not appear to have the potential to effect historic
properties. As such, no further cultural resources oversight is warranted and DA recommends a
determination of No Historic Properties Affected for this undertaking.
REGULATORY CONTEXT
This project was conducted, in part, to satisfy regulatory requirements for Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended, and the implementing regulations in 36
CFR Part 800. Section 106 requires federal agencies take into account the effects of their
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 1
n
undertakings on historic properties. A historic property is typically aged 50 years or older and is
defined in 36 CFR part 800.16(1)(1), as follows:
... any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included
in, or eligible for inclusion in, the NRHP maintained by the Secretary of the
Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and
located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional
religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization and that meet the National Register criteria.
The procedures under Section 106 generally require the federal agency involved in the
undertaking to identify the APE, inventory any historic properties that may be located within the
APE, and determine if the identified historic properties located within the APE may be eligible to
be listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). An APE is
defined in 36 CFR 800.16(d), as follows:
... the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or
indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of historic properties, if any
such properties exist. The area of potential effects is influenced by the scale and
nature of an undertaking and may be different for different kinds of effects caused
by the undertaking.
If NRHP eligible historic properties are identified within the APE then potential adverse effects
to the historic properties must be assessed, and a resolution of adverse effects recommended.
Under Section 106, the responsible federal agency must, at minimum, consult with and seek
comment from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and/or the Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer (THPO), as applicable, and consult with any affected or potentially affected
Native American Tribe(s).
AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to improve approximately 1.2 miles of Pacific Highway South (SR99) from
north of S 340th Street to S 359th Street. The project is located approximately 0.30 miles west of
Highway 18 in Sections 20 and 29 of Range 04 East, Township 21 North (Figures 1-2).
Improvements will include reconstructing and widening portions of Pacific Highway South,
adding HOV lanes, curb, gutter, sidewalk on both sides, medians, landscaping, new and modified
signal systems, channelization, street lighting systems, undergrounding of overhead utilities, and
drainage system improvements. Water and sewer line relocations will be provided where
necessary.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 2
An average roadway excavation depth of 2-3 feet will be required. Utility excavation depths will
typically be 4-6 feet deep and up to 12 feet deep at isolated utility structure locations. Right-of-
way acquisition will be required. Modifications to at least one building may occur; however, the
foundation will likely be underpinned and monitored. The alignment was shifted slightly to the
west to prevent direct impacts. Excavation may occur near the foundations of the buildings
located at 34222 Pacific Highway South (King County Parcel: 202104-9137) which was
constructed in 1979 and is currently utilized as a skating rink; and, 34110 Pacific Highway South
(King County Parcel 202104-9119) which was constructed in 1977 is an automobile repair
business.

BACKGROUND REVIEW
Determining the probability for historic properties to be present within the APE was based upon
review and analysis of the environmental and cultural contexts of the area, as well as previous
cultural resource studies and site recorded in or within a one -mile radius of the APE. Consulted
sources included reviewing local geologic data to better understand the depositional
environment; archaeological, historic and ethnographic records on file on the Washington
Information System for Architectural and Archaeological Records Data (WISAARD) database;
and, selected published local historic records.
Environmental Context
The APE is situated in a shallow drainage basin on an upland landform mantled with Pleistocene
age glacial till and outwash. This glacial material was largely deposited during the Vashon Stade
of the Fraser Glaciation. Glacial ice was last present in the Seattle and Tacoma areas from about
15,000 to 13,500 years ago; during this short span the processes of glacial recession left large
amounts of till and outwash, making up most of the present day topography of the Puget
Lowland. The geology and topography of the area is largely the result of the glacial activity
during the late Pleistocene. Glacial deposits range from very porous gravels and sands to hard till
in which significant pockets of silt and clay are mixed. The APE is within what is Franklin and
Dyrness (1973) term the Puget Trough physiographic province. The province is characterized as
a:
"...depressed, glaciated area which is now partially submerged. The geology and
topography resulted almost entirely from a lobe of the cordilleran icecap which
pushed into the area from the north during the Pleistocene Epoch... Glacial
deposits range from very porous gravels and sands to a hard till in which
substantial clay and silt are mixed with coarser particles" (Franklin and Dyrness
1973:17).
This region was shaped by at least seven periods of extensive glaciation during the Pleistocene
(Pacific Northwest Center for Geological Mapping Studies [PNWC] 2008). The land was
scoured and sediments were deposited as the glaciers advanced and retreated. The surface
features throughout most of the Puget Lowland are a result of the most recent of these: the Fraser
Glaciation.
The Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation began at about 18,000 Before Present (BP) with an
advance of the Cordilleran ice sheet into the lowlands (Porter and Swanson 1998). As the ice
built up one lobe flowed down into the Puget Lowland and another lobe filled the Strait of Juan
de Fuca. The ice in the Puget lobe reached Seattle sometime between 15,000 and 14,500 BP and
its terminus just south of Olympia between 14,500 and 14,000 BP (Clague and James 2002,
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 6
Easterbrook 2003, Waitt and Thorson 1983). The Puget lobe was thicker towards the north and
thinned towards its terminus. As the ice sheet advanced it deposited an enormous amount of
sediment in a large outwash plain ahead of the ice sheet and then overran these deposits carving
out the deep troughs that now make up Puget Sound (Booth 1994). In some areas deposits from
the preceding glacial and interglacial periods were also exposed.
The Vashon Stade ended relatively fast and the Puget lobe of the ice sheet had retreated back to
Seattle by about 14,000 BP (Easterbrook 2003). Marine waters entered the lowlands that had
been carved out by the glaciers and filled Puget Sound. The remaining ice was floated and
wasted away rapidly. Everson glaciomarine drift deposits dating between 12,500 and 11,500 BP
were released from the melting glacial ice and deposited on the sea floor across the northern and
central Puget Lowland (Easterbrook 2003). During deglaciation relative sea level was higher
than at present but isostatic rebound of the crust at the end of the period caused relative sea levels
to fall (Clague and James 2002), exposing some drift deposits.
The local sediments are comprised primarily of Quaternary glacial outwash that was deposited at
the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene. In 1973, the NRCS produced a soil
survey of King County with the intention of analyzing and defining each distinct variety of soil
and listing the characteristics of each soil pertaining to land -use practices. According to the
NRCS soil survey, the APE contains primarily Everett-Alderwood gravelly sandy loams, 6 to
15% slopes and Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 15 to 30% slopes (USDA NRCS n.d). These
soils formed in very gravelly glacial outwash deposits, under conifers and are found on gently
undulating and moderately steep terraces and terrace fronts (Snyder et al. 1973:14). A typical soil
profile includes:
"...the A horizon ranges from black to dark gray. The Bir horizon ranges from
dark brown and brown to dark yellowish brown and the B3 horizon from brown to
dark brown. The IIC horizon ranges from black and very dark brown to olive
brown, and from very gravelly coarse sand to very gravelly loamy sand. Depth to
the IIC horizon ranges from 18 to 36 inches (Snyder et al. 1973).
The APE is in the Tsuga Heterophylla (Western Hemlock) vegetation zone that in precontact
times would have been dominated by an overstory of conifers with a thick underbrush of shrubs
(Franklin and Dyrness 1973). Typically this area contained Douglas fir, western hemlock,
western red cedar, Oregon grape, salal, western sword fern, and trailing blackberry. The current
APE is characterized by urban development, e.g. strip malls, industrial buildings, and corner
marts.
Terrestrial game animals available in the area could have included deer and elk, as well as bear,
beaver, and small land animals. Ducks and other birds could be caught with large aerial nets
made of woven plant material.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 7
Cultural Context
Precontact occupation of the Puget Sound basin has been well summarized in regional literature.
Precontact models, ethnographies, and historical overviews have provided a general context
within which to frame cultural development in a more substantial format than within the limited
scope of this project (Ames and Maschner 1999; Larson and Lewarch 1995; Nelson 1990; Suttles
and Lane 1990). Human occupation has been nearly continuous since the retreat of the last
glaciation about 10,500 years ago.
Puget Sound lowland archaeology can be subdivided into three phases that include early (end of
the last ice age to 5,000 years BP), middle (5,000 to 1,000 BP) and late stages of development
(1,000 to 250 BP). The early period is characterized by an emphasis on the use of flaked stone
tools including fluted projectile points, leaf -shaped points and cobble -derived tools. Camps were
frequently established along river terraces or outwash channels and exist today as near surface
scatters or shallow buried sites. The middle period coincides with a stabilization of the
environment to something similar to today. The broad cultural patterns include a larger suite of
tools including smaller notched points and groundstone, bone or antler implements used for
working with wood. Shell midden sites first appear during this period indicating a transition to a
more maritime -based subsistence pattern. The late period is dominated by settlement pattern
along the coastline and along streams and rivers and far greater specialization of technology.
Trade goods also appear indicating extensive trade networks up and down the coast as well as
with inland plateau peoples. Salmon became a primary food source at this time as sea levels had
risen and riparian environments supported large runs of salmon and provided plentiful food.
The APE is located within the traditional territory of the current Puyallup tribe —Southern Coast
Salish speakers of the southern dialect of the Lushootseed language. The Puyallup traditionally
occupied the areas around Commencement Bay and the drainages of two rivers, the White and
the Puyallup, where they followed a seasonal round for resource procurement (Smith 1940).
Land types utilized within the river valleys included prairies, foothills, and uplands. Grazing
areas for horses and camas fields were located on prairies. The foothills contained materials for
basketry, wild berries and various species of game. The tidelands of Commencement Bay and
Vashon Island were utilized for salmon and various shellfish. Salmon were caught in fish weirs
constructed in strategic locations.
The main Puyallup village (S'Puyallupabsh) was located near the mouth of the Puyallup River
(Suttles and Lane 1990). Smith (1940) places the location near the current intersection of 15t'
and Pacific Avenue in Tacoma. No ethnographic village sites or placenames were recorded in the
APE. Not much of S'Puyallupabsh remained when a Norwegian settler, named Nicholas DeLin,
arrived in 1852 to file a Donation Land Claim and construct a mill at the mouth of Gallagher
Creek. Although the village location was no longer being occupied, there were some Puyallup
encampments there along the shore. The surrounding area was swampy and DeLin dammed the
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 8
mouth of the creek to flood the low areas for log storage. Attempts to establish businesses and
homesteads in the area by DeLin and others who followed were not successful. Settlement
developed north of there in what is now Old Town Tacoma.
Previous Cultural Resource Studies and Sites
A search of WISAARD (accessed June 29, 2014) was conducted to develop the context for
predicting the types, condition, context and potential for archaeological and/or historic material
or structures to be located in the APE. According to the database, a portion of the APE has been
previously surveyed for cultural resources. In 2006, a cultural resources assessment was
conducted of the approximately 500 feet of S 348th Street east of Pacific Highway included in the
subject APE as part of a larger transportation project (Bard 2006). The assessment consisted of
pedestrian and subsurface survey; no evidence for cultural materials and/or deposits was
encountered. Additional cultural resource assessments that have been conducted within a one -
mile radius of the APE are provided in Table 1.

Y-9016 AE
As a result of previous assessments in and within one -mile radius of the APE, one archaeological
site, 45KI719, has been identified. 45KI719 is a historic residential foundation that was recorded
during a survey for a WSDOT project and then subsequently destroyed during construction
(Luttrell 2005). No other archaeological sites have been recorded in or within a one -mile radius
of the APE.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 9
Additionally, no cemeteries or historic register properties have been previously recorded in or
within a one -mile radius of the APE. Several historic property inventory forms have been
prepared for buildings aged 50 years or older adjacent to and within a one -mile radius of the
APE, generally as part of a legacy project conducted for the DAHP. No previously inventoried
historic property will be impacted by this project.
EXPECTATIONS FOR HISTORIC PROPERTIES
Based on review of the project scope and background review of environmental and cultural
contexts, and previous cultural resource studies and sites, the APE is considered to be located in
an area of low probability for cultural materials:
• The project scope is largely isolated to the existing footprint of construction therefore
intact soils in the APE are unlikely;
• A freshwater source is not located in the APE;
• No ethnographic sites and/or placenames have been previously recorded in the APE; and,
• No previous archaeology has been previously recorded in the APE.
If, however, historic properties were present in the APE they would likely be associated with
transportation and/or other instances of urban development.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
Field investigation was conducted by Keith Solmo on June 16, 2014 during dry and warm
weather conditions. Field investigation consisted of pedestrian survey, visual reconnaissance,
and subsurface inspection. Pedestrian survey consisted of walking all accessible areas of the APE
to investigate the potential for any buried and/or aboveground historic properties to be present.
Visual reconnaissance consisted of observing topographical and other aboveground features that
could provide indication to the absence and/or presence of potential historic properties in the
APE. Subsurface inspection was employed to identify the subsurface soil conditions of the APE
and determine the presence / absence of buried cultural materials and/or deposits. Subsurface
inspection was conducted by reviewing logs of geotechnical studies previously conducted in the
APE.
The APE is characteristic of an urban transportation corridor (Photos 1 — 3). The asphalt roadway
is comprised of four to six traffic lanes. Paved shoulders and concrete sidewalks are present on
either side of Pacific Highway throughout the APE. Evidence of buried utilities including
electrical, sewer, water, and phone was encountered in nearly all areas of the APE.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 10
At the time of survey, evidence of development and disturbance was observed across over 95%
of the APE. In the areas of the APE where development was not as clear, pedestrian survey was
conducted. Here, subsurface exposures provided by moles, previous excavation and/or erosion
were further examined. The following areas are further described below.
On the north end of the APE, from South 344a' Street north to the intersection of Pacific
Highway and 16t` Avenue South, the APE encompasses several prefabricated industrial
buildings, a flat roofed roller skating rink, and a Meineke auto shop (Photo 1). Surrounding these
buildings are paved parking lots and minimal landscaping. None of the buildings in this area are
aged 50 years or older requiring a HPI nor are they eligible for inclusion in the National Register
of Historic Places (NRHP).
Photo 1. View south from near the Pacific Highway/16Ih Avenue South intersection showing the skating rink
within the APE.
Along the north side of South 344a' Street west of Pacific Highway, this area is surrounded by
industrial buildings (Photo 2). The area itself consists of new growth vegetation and sediment
that has been disturbed extensively in the past, as evidenced by undulating machine push piles.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 11
Photo 2. Showing new growth vegetation north of South 344th Street. Northwest aspect.
On the west side of Pacific Highway, south of South 348 h Street, this portion of the APE
encompasses many new growth trees in a wooded lot (Photo 3). Its boundary with the sidewalk
along Pacific Highway consists of a retaining wall and sloped earthen retainer averaging ten feet
in height. West of the retaining wall, the ground slopes upward into a more densely vegetated
area. This area appears to have been disturbed extensively in the past from land clearing and
road/sidewalk construction.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 12
Photo 3. West side of Pacific Highway above the retaining wall (between the vegetation and sidewalk, not
clearly visible in photo). North aspect.
South of South 351" Street along the eastern side of Pacific Highway, there is a paved parking
area that transitions into a vacant lot to the south (Photo 4). This lot appears to have been
previously cleared for construction or staging, as it is free of vegetation and contains pockets of
gravel throughout. The parking area is built on fill material, likely from the lot or nearby.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 13
Photo 4. Showing the existing parking area and vacant lot east of Pacific Highway and south of South 351s'
Street. East aspect.
Due to the limited extent of ground surface exposure in the APE, logs of geotechnical studies
previously conducted in the APE were reviewed. A total of 13 bore logs were found to have been
previously excavated within the boundaries of the APE (Figure 3, Table 2). The studies were
conducted between 1965 and 2011 for various local projects. The previously conducted borings
confirmed that much of the APE is located on fill deposits. Of the 13 borings reviewed in the
APE, eight contained fill deposits (B2, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10, B11). The fill deposits were
found across the length of the APE ranging from 1 to 20 feet in depth with an average depth of
9.25 feet. Beneath the fill is sandy silt with some gravel. No evidence for significant cultural
materials/deposits such as charcoal or shell was mentioned.

RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
DA's cultural resources assessment for this project consisted of background research, field
investigation and preparation of this report. Background review determined the area of potential
effects (APE) to be located in an area of low probability for historic properties. Field
investigation included pedestrian survey, visual reconnaissance, and review of soil bore logs
previously conducted in the APE. Considering the low probability for historic properties to be
located in the APE, the absence of any evidence for historic properties to be encountered in the
APE, and the documented extent of fill deposits to be present within the APE, it is DA's
professional opinion that the project does not appear to have the potential to effect historic
properties. As such, no further cultural resources oversight is warranted and DA recommends a
determination of No Historic Properties Affected for this undertaking.
Drayton Archaeology Report 0514E 18
It should also be recognized that Washington State law provides for the protection of all
archaeological resources under RCW Chapter 27.53, Archaeological Sites and Resources, which
prohibits the unauthorized removal, theft, and/or destruction of archaeological resources and
sites. This statute also provides for prosecution and financial penalties covering consultation and
the recovery of archaeological resources. Additional legal oversight is provided for Indian
burials and grave offerings under RCW Chapter 27.44, Indian Graves and Records. RCW 27.44
states that, the willful removal, mutilation, defacing, and/or destruction of Indian burials
constitute a Class C felony. A recent addition to Washington legal code, RCW 68.50.645,
Notification, provides a strict process for the notification of law enforcement and other interested
parties in the event of the discovery of any human remains regardless of perceived patrimony.
The assessment of the property has been conducted by a professional archaeologist and meets or
exceeds the criteria set forth in RCW: 27.53 for professional archaeological reporting and
assessment.
In the event that archaeological materials are encountered during the project, work should be
halted in the vicinity of the find and an archaeologist should immediately be notified. Work
would only proceed after the materials is inspected and assessed. At that time the appropriate
persons are to be notified of the exact nature and extent of the resource so that measures can be
taken to secure them. In the event of inadvertently discovered human remains or indeterminate
bones, work must stop immediately. Any remains should be covered and secured against further
disturbance; communication should then be established with the Sheriff's Office, the State
Physical Anthropologist at DAHP, and the appropriate Tribal Historic Preservation Officer(s).

Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements
July 2014

Summary
Widener and Associates have undertaken a project level air quality analysis on behalf of the City
-� of Federal Way for the Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvement Project. The project will
improve approximately 1.2 miles of Pacific Highway South (SR99) from north of S 340th Street
to S 359th Street. Improvements will include reconstructing and widening portions of Pacific
Highway South, adding HOV lanes, curb, gutter, and sidewalk on both sides, medians,
-1 landscaping, new and modified signal systems, channelization, street lighting systems,
J undergrounding of overhead utilities, and drainage system improvements. Water and sewer line
relocations will be provided where necessary.
The proposed project is located in the City of Federal Way, King County, WA. The project is
located approximately 0.30 miles west of the beginning of Highway 18 in Sections 20 and 29 of
Range 04E, Township 21N.
As the project is located within a maintenance area for CO, it is not exempt under 40 CFR
93.125 and WAC 173-420-120, and as the LOS at several intersections within and adjacent to
the project area will be D, E, or F under future conditions, a project level CO conformity analysis
is required for this project. The study was conducted in accordance with applicable federal and
- J state air laws and regulations, and WSDOT guidance.
J
The project conformity analysis addressed the build alternatives at intersections that exhibit the
highest traffic levels, longest delay times, and worst level -of -service, within the project corridor.
The year of opening (2018) and the design year (2035) were modeled using MOVES and
CAL3 QHC.
Analysis showed that ambient CO levels at all receivers in the project area are well below the
NAAQS for the'Build 2018' and'Build 2035' at all intersections.
Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements
July 2014
J
The project was found to meet project level conformity requirements as dictated by federal and
state requirements. The Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements Project is classified as a
Documented Categorical Exclusion (DCE), and therefore no analysis of Mobile Source Air
Toxics is required. Therefore no changes to the project are necessary in order to meet
conformity requirements. The project has been listed in the Transportation Improvement Plan,'
showing that it conforms to the State Implementation Plan and meets regional conformity
requirements for all criteria pollutants. The project level analysis showed that project level
conformity to the State Implementation Plan is also met for this project. The NAAQS will not be
met or exceeded under either the no build or build during any of the analysis years. The project
will not: 1) cause or contribute to any new violation of the NAAQS, 2) increase the frequency or
severity of any existing violation of the NAAQS, or 3) delay timely attainment of the NAAQS.
Anticipated impacts as a result of construction activities are emissions from construction
equipment, an increase in dust and particulates as a result of soil disturbance, and an increase in
CO emissions from idling vehicles as a result of an increase in traffic delays and congestion on
alternate routes. Measures that will be undertaken to minimize these impacts are: 1)
Construction vehicles will be in good working order 2) Best management practices will be
utilized to control fugitive dust, these may include but are not limited to the use of water spray
for dust suppression and covering stock piles 3) A traffic management plan will be in place
during construction and any alternative routes will be well signed.

1. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to document the project level air quality analysis undertaken for the
Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements Project, to make a determination regarding
whether the project meets project level air quality conformity requirements, and to make
mitigation recommendations as appropriate.
1.1 Project Summary
1.1.1 Project Description
The City of Federal Way is proposing to improve approximately 1.2 miles of Pacific Highway
South (SR99) from north of S 340th Street to S 359th Street. Improvements will include
reconstructing and widening portions of Pacific Highway South, adding HOV lanes, curb, gutter,
and sidewalk on both sides, medians, landscaping, new and modified signal systems,
channelization, street lighting systems, undergrounding of overhead utilities, and drainage
system improvements. Water and sewer line relocations will be provided where necessary.
When conducting an air quality study, it is necessary to look at intersections that will be affected
by the proposed project, have a 10% or more change in traffic volume, and/or a level of service
(LOS) of D, E, or F in any year. A total of three intersections selected from the traffic report
were studied and modeled, representing the worst LOS intersections affected by the project.
1 These intersection are Pacific Highway South with S 344th Street, S 348th Street, and SW 356th
Street. The existing intersection at S 3441 Street is not signalized while S 348th Street and SW
356th Street have existing signals. Refer to Figure 2 for the Study Intersections.
1.1.2 Location
The proposed project is located in the City of Federal Way, King County, WA. The project
consists of improvements to Pacific Highway South. The project is located approximately 0.30
miles west of the beginning of Highway 18 in Sections 20 and 29 of Range 04E, Township 21N.
The current land use is commercial businesses. Refer to Figure 1; Vicinity Map.

2. Criteria for Determining Conformity
2.1 Applicable Laws and Regulations
Federal
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 USC Section 4321, requires that all major
actions sponsored, funded, permitted, or approved by federal agencies undergo planning to
ensure that environmental considerations such as impacts on air quality are given due weight in
decision -making. Federal regulations are included in Rule 23 CFR 771 (FHWA) and 40 CFR
1500-1508 (CEQ).
The federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and amendments (last amended, 1990) (CAAA) requires the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) and requires states to submit plans (State Implementation Plans [SIP]) to
attain and maintain the NAAQS standards. Under the CAA, the federal Department of
Transportation (USDOT) cannot fund, authorize, or approve federal actions to support programs
or projects that are not first found to conform to Clean Air Act requirements. Federal
implementing regulations are established by the USEPA. Rule 40 CFR 93 outlines criteria and
procedures for transportation conformity. Exempt projects are listed in 40 CFR 93.126. Rule 40
CFR 58 outlines monitoring requirements for carbon monoxide (CO) and other pollutants. The
USEPA has established NAAQS specifying maximum concentration for carbon monoxide (CO),
particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in size (PM10), particulate matter less than 2.5
micrometers in size (PM2.5), ozone, sulfur dioxide (SO2), lead (Pb), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
(WSDOT, 2006)
State
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires that all major actions sponsored, funded,
permitted, or approved by state and/or local agencies undergo planning to ensure environmental
considerations such as impacts on air quality are given due weight in decision -making. State
implementing regulations are in WAC 197-11 and WAC 468-12 (WSDOT).
Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements 13
July 2014
The Clean Air Washington Act (CAWA) of 1991 (RCW 70.94) requires transportation plans,
programs, and projects to be consistent with the SIP to improve air quality in areas where federal
air quality standards are not met. The act gives responsibility for determining conformity to the
state, local government, or metropolitan planning organization that is developing the
transportation plan, program, or project. It also authorized establishment of a local air pollution
control authority for each area of the state. WAC 173-420: Conformity of Transportation
Activities to Air Quality Implementation Plans contains regulations to ensure conformity of
transportation activities to the SIPs. These regulations were developed jointly by Ecology and
WSDOT to meet federal and state statutory requirements. They set forth minimum requirements
for evaluating transportation plans, programs, and projects for conformity, provide a basis for
evaluating conformity determinations, and guide state, regional, and local agencies in making
conformity determinations. Exempt projects are listed in WAC 173-420-110. Projects exempt
from regional analysis are listed in WAC 173-420-120. The state law and regulations closely
mimic the federal law and regulation (WSDOT, 2006).
The state (Ecology) and federal (USEPA) agencies designate regions as 'attainment' or
'maintenance' for these six criteria pollutants based on whether they meet the NAAQS. Once a
'non -attainment' area meets the NAAQS, it is classified as a'maintenance' area until the standard
has been maintained for ten years. Projects must be shown to conform to the SIP. The NAAQS
are used as benchmarks to evaluate the effects of projects. If the NAAQS are exceeded, an
impact occurs (WSDOT, 2006).
2.2 Definition of Conformity
Projects are in conformity when they do not 1) cause or contribute to any new violation of the
NAAQS, 2) increase the frequency or severity of any existing violation of the NAAQS, or 3)
delay timely attainment of the NAAQS. (EPA 1997; WAC 173-420-060)

2.4 Process for Determining Regional and Project Level Conformity
Regional and project level conformity analysis must be undertaken on all non-exempt projects
located in'non-attainment' or 'maintenance' areas. If the project is listed in the Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) and / or in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for the
appropriate Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), then (as long as it has not changed
significantly since being listed in the plan(s)) it has undergone regional conformity analysis and
can be concluded to meet regional conformity requirements for all criteria pollutants. For
projects within the central Puget Sound region of Washington State, the Puget Sound Regional
Council (PSRC) is responsible for developing the long range transportation plan, for maintaining
the TIP and for undertaking regional conformity analysis to ensure that all projects listed in the
MTP / TIP meet regional conformity standards.
Even if a project meets regional conformity requirements, a project level (hot spot) analysis for
CO or PM10 may still be required if the project requires quantitative analysis under 40 CFR
93.123 or WAC 173-420-070. Effectively this means that a project level conformity analysis
will be required if any of the intersections within the project area (or outside the project
boundary but potentially affected by the project) have or will have a level of service (LOS) of D,
E, or F under any of the future conditions (existing, year of opening, and design year) (40 CFR
93.123; WAC 173-420-070). The design year is defined as the end of the long range
transportation plan. Within the project year it is currently 2040, which corresponds to the
forecast year for this project.
2.5 Applicability to this Project
This project is located within maintenance areas for CO. The project is listed in the TIP, and
therefore; is anticipated to meet conformity standards for all other criteria pollutants, and be
consistent with the regional Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The project has been
found to be categorically exempt under 23 CFR 771.117(c); and therefore no Mobile Source Air
Toxics (MSATs) analysis is necessary. Although the project is anticipated to meet regional
conformity requirements, as the LOS at several intersections within the project area will be D, E,
or F under future conditions, a project level CO conformity analysis is required. Because the
project is classified as a Documented Categorical Exclusion (DCE), only build conditions were
modeled for the analysis.

3. Affected Environment
3.1 Terrain
The Pacific Highway South corridor has been previously disturbed by roadway and surrounding
development. The surrounding environment consists of freeway and commercial businesses
which are most numerous on the north end of the project area.
3.2 Meteorology
Weather is one of several variables that influence air quality. Atmospheric conditions, such as
wind speed and direction and air temperature gradients interact with the physical features of the
landscape to determine the movement and dispersion of air pollutants and consequently affect air
quality. Periods with stable high pressure systems and periods that include nighttime thermal
inversions due to the low solar heating of the land in winter create stable atmospheric conditions.
It is during these very stable atmospheric conditions, when little vertical dispersion occurs, that
monitoring instruments measure high concentrations of air pollutants emitted at ground level.
Such ground -level emitted pollutants primarily include CO from motor vehicles and particulate
l
matter from woodstoves, outdoor burning, mobile sources, and other activities.
Precipitation in the area is frequent during late fall and winter with light rainfall in the summer,
with an average relative humidity between 50 and 90 percent. The average annual precipitation
is approximately 37 inches, with 75 percent of annual precipitation occurring from October to
March (NOAA website). According to the NOAA website, climate summaries collected for the
Seattle region for the period 1971-2000 are as follows: average maximum temperature = 58.2 F;
average minimum temperature = 43.5 F; average annual precipitation =37.07 inches. (NOAA,
2010).
3.3 Existing Air Quality Conditions
The project is located in a maintenance area for CO. The Pacific Highway South Phase V
project site location area is currently designated an attainment area for particulate matter and
iother criteria pollutants. Refer to Figure 3 for the boundaries of the CO maintenance areas.
Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements 19
July 2014
3.4 CO Trends
From 1980 -2007, the nation has seen a 77% reduction in CO levels based on the 8-hour NAAQS
(EPA, 2008). CO levels around the Puget Sound have decreased significantly in the past 15
years. Levels are well below federal standards, and there has not been a violation of the NAAQS
for CO in the Tacoma area since 1992 (EPA, 2013). This is due primarily to cleaner car
technology. Refer to Appendix C for a graph of CO trends from 1990 to 2012 in the Tacoma
area.
3.5 Health and Environmental Impacts of Pollutants
3.5.1 Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is formed when the carbon in fuel is not
burned completely. It can result in harmful health effects by reducing oxygen delivery to the
body's organs. It affects the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. For people
who suffer from heart disease, a single exposure to CO at low levels may cause chest pain and
reduce that person's ability to exercise. Repeated exposures may contribute to other
cardiovascular effects. At higher doses, CO affects the central nervous system, even in healthy
people, resulting in vision problems, reduced ability to work / learn, reduced manual dexterity,
and difficulty performing complex tasks. At extremely high levels, CO can be fatal. CO also
contributes to the formation of smog ground -level ozone, which can trigger serious respiratory
problems. (EPA 2013)
3.5.2 Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur oxides dissolve easily in water and SOx gases are formed when fuel containing sulfur
(such as coal and oil) is burned, when gasoline is extracted from oil, or when metals are
extracted from ore. Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water vapor to form acid, and interacts with other
gases and particles in the air to form sulfates. In the United States, approximately 2/3 of S02
released to the air comes from electric utilities, especially those that burn coal. When S02 is
released into the air by power plants and other sources, it is carried by the prevailing wind,
sometimes hundreds of miles away. Other sources include non -road diesel equipment that burns
sulfur fuel and release S02 emissions to the air in large quantities. (EPA website, April, 2010)
Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements 20
July 2014
J
Sulfur dioxide causes a wide variety of health and environmental impacts due to the way it reacts
with other substances in the air. Particularly sensitive groups include people with asthma,
children, the elderly, and people with heart or lung disease. Short term exposure to peak levels
Of SO2 in the air can cause temporary breathing difficulty for people with asthma who are active
outdoors. Longer -term exposures to high levels of SO2 gas and particles cause respiratory illness
and aggravate existing heart disease. (EPA website, April, 2010)
Sulfate particles are the major cause of reduced visibility. They scatter and absorb light resulting
in `visibility impairment haze'. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with other substances in
the air to form acids, which fall to earth as rain, fog, snow, or dry particles (acid rain). Acid rain
damages forests and crops, changes soil composition, and acidifies water bodies, detrimentally
affecting aquatic species including fish. Sulfur dioxide accelerates the decay of building
materials and paints, including structures of historic significance. (EPA website, April, 2010)
3.5.3 Particulate Matter
Particulate matter (PM) consists of particles found in the air which include dust, dirt, soot,
smoke, and liquid droplets. Fine particles found in the air, 2.5 micrometers in diameter or less
are commonly known as PM2.5. Other particulate matter is large or dark enough to be detected
with the naked eye and is greater than 2.5 micrometers but less than 10 micrometers these
particles are commonly known as PM10 examples include soot, smoke, and heavy vehicle
tireibrake wear. (EPA website, April, 2010)
Particulate Matter causes a wide variety of health and environmental impacts. It has been linked
to a series of significant health problems, including: aggravated asthma, increases in respiratory
problems including coughing and difficult or painful breathing, chronic bronchitis, decreased
lung function, and premature death. Fine particles (PM2.5) are the major cause of reduced
visibility (haze). Particulate matter also constitutes acid rain as discussed above. Soot, a type of
PMio, stains and damages stone and other materials, including culturally important objects.
(EPA website, April, 2010)
Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements 21
July 2014
3.5.4 Ground Level Ozone
Ozone is created at ground level by a chemical reaction between oxides of nitrogen and volatile
organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight. Even at low concentrations ground level
ozone adversely affects human health and has detrimental effects on other species. Ground -level
ozone triggers a variety of health problems including aggravated asthma, reduced lung capacity,
and increased susceptibility to respiratory illnesses like pneumonia and bronchitis. Ozone can
irritate lung airways and cause inflammation much like sunburn. Other symptoms include
wheezing, coughing, pain when taking a deep breath, and breathing difficulties during exercise
or outdoor activities. People with respiratory problems are most vulnerable, but even healthy
people that are active outdoors can be affected when ozone levels are high. Repeated exposure
to ozone pollution for several months may cause permanent lung damage. Anyone who spends
time outdoors in the summer is at risk, particularly children and other people who are active
outdoors. (EPA website, April, 2010)
Ground -level ozone interferes with the ability of plants to produce and store food, which makes
them more susceptible to disease, insects, other pollutants, and harsh weather, thereby affecting
crop and forest yields. Ozone damages the leaves of trees and other plants, ruining the
appearance of cities, national parks, and recreation areas. (EPA website, April, 2010)
3.5.5. Lead
Lead is a metal found naturally in the environment as well as in manufactured products. The
primary use of lead is in the manufacture of batteries. In the past, the largest sources of lead
emissions have been motor vehicles and industrial sources. Due to the phase out of leaded
gasoline, air lead levels have decreased significantly. (EPA website, April, 2010)
People, animals, and fish are mainly exposed to lead by breathing and ingesting it in food, water,
soil, or dust. Lead accumulates in the blood, bones, muscles, and fat. Infants and young children
are especially sensitive to lead. Lead damages organs including the kidneys, liver, brain and
nerves. Exposure to lead can also lead to osteoporosis and reproductive disorders. Excessive
exposure to lead affects the brain and nerves resulting in seizures, mental retardation, behavioral
disorders, memory problems, and mood changes. Low levels of lead damage the brain and
Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements 22
July 2014
lnerves in fetuses and young children, resulting in learning deficiencies and lowered IQ. Lead
exposure causes high blood pressure and increases heart disease, especially in men. Lead
exposure may also lead to anemia. (EPA website, April, 2010)
IAnimals can ingest lead while grazing and are affected in the same way as humans. Low
I
I
j
concentrations of lead can retard vegetation growth. Lead can enter water systems through
runoff and from sewage and industrial waste streams. Elevated levels of lead in the water can
cause reproductive damage in some aquatic life and cause blood and neurological changes in
aquatic species, including fish. (EPA website, April, 2010)
3.5.6 Nitrogen Oxides / Nitrogen Dioxide
Nitrogen oxides are highly reactive gases many of which are colorless and odorless. However,
nitrogen dioxide (NO2) along with particles in the air can often be seen as a reddish -brown layer
over many urban areas. Nitrogen oxides (nitrogen dioxide, nitric acid, nitrous oxide, nitrates,
and nitric oxide) cause a wide variety of health and environmental impacts. Nitrogen oxides
react with other substances in the air to form ground level ozone, acid rain, and particulate
matter. Increased nitrogen loading into bodies of water results in a process called eutrophication.
Eutrophication leads to oxygen depletion and a reduction in fish and other aquatic species
populations. In the air, NOx reacts readily with common organic chemicals, to form a wide
variety of toxic products, some of which may cause biological mutations. Examples of these
chemicals include the nitrate radical, nitroarenes, and nitrosamines. Nitrate particles and
nitrogen dioxide can block the transmission of light, reducing visibility. Nitrous oxide is a
greenhouse gas. (EPA website, April, 2010)

4. Methods of Analysis
4.2 Modeling Methods
Project level conformity analysis was undertaken using the most recent EPA approved model
MOVES and CAL3QHC. Traffic data (turning movements) for all conditions was provided by
KPG, Inc. and is provided in Appendix B.
Of the 4 intersections contained in the traffic report, 1 intersection was thrown out due an
acceptable LOS, (A, B, or Q. The remaining 3 intersections modeled are signalized
intersections after project construction. Refer to Figure 2 for names and locations of the studied
intersections.
Selected intersections affected by the project that exhibited a level of service (LOS) of D, E, or F
in any year were modeled. The PM peak hour was used, as that is when traffic conditions are the
worst. All modeled intersections are at grade. A summary of the LOS, traffic numbers, and
longest delay times at all intersections in the project corridor for the existing condition versus the
No Build 2018 (year of opening) is provided in Table 2.

MOVES uses a combination of user inputs and default values to estimate the emission rate for
vehicles for use in CAL3QHC. Variables include age distribution of cars, vehicle types,
meteorological factors, fuel formulations, and inspection/maintenance programs. This data
along with other roadway variables are used in CAL3QHC in order to determine the worst case
scenario during peak hour traffic. A CAL3QHC input file is created using three types of
variables: 1) pre-set variables that do not change for each roadway configuration; 2) variables
defined based on roadway configuration and; 3) variables based on MOVES inputs. Examples
Air Quality Discipline Report: Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvements

25
of CAL3QHC variables which are defined by the user are as follows: link types, meteorological
factors, signal/red cycle length, signal type, source height, and mixing zone.
Receptor locations for each modeled intersection were chosen approximately 10 feet away (the
minimum recommended distance) from the edge of the mixing zone, at a set height of 5.9 feet.
One receptor was placed in each quadrant of the intersection to represent areas accessible to the
public.

5. Results of An
Results of the project level conformity analysis for CO are given in Tables 3 and 4. Analysis
-� showed that ambient CO levels at all receivers in the project area are below the NAAQS for the
'Build 2018' (year of opening) conditions and the'Build 2040' (design year) conditions. In
addition, because all one -hour CO concentrations are below the eight -hour standard (9 ppm), no

6. Project Conformity Statement
The information given for this project is based on the latest planning assumptions to date. It was
found to meet project level conformity requirements as dictated by federal and state rules.
Therefore no changes to the project are necessary in order to meet conformity requirements. The
project is listed in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, therefore it conforms to the State
Implementation Plan (SIP), and meets regional conformity requirements for all criteria
pollutants. The project level (hot spot) analysis which was conducted showed that project level
conformity to the SIP is also met for this project. Using the latest EPA approved emission
estimation model MOVES and dispersion model CAL3QHC, modeled CO levels were well
below the NAAQS for the build condition in all the analysis years (year of opening and design
years).
It is concluded that the project conforms, as it will not: 1) cause or contribute to any new
violation of the NAAQS, 2) increase the frequency or severity of any existing violation of the
NAAQS, or 3) delay timely attainment of the NAAQS.

Impacts and Mitigation
Anticipated impacts as a result of construction activities are emissions from construction
equipment, an increase in dust and particulates as a result of soil disturbance, and an increase in
CO emissions from idling vehicles as a result of an increase in traffic delays and congestion on
alternate routes. State and Federal rules (WAC 173-420-100; CFR 93.123) state that
construction related impacts that cause a temporary increase in emissions do not have to be taken
into account in a conformity determination. However, the rules also require these measures to be
taken to minimize construction air quality impacts:
• Construction vehicles will be in good working order.
• Best management practices (BMPs) will be utilized to control fugitive dust. BMPs may
include but are not limited to the use of water spray for dust suppression and covering
stock piles
• A traffic management plan will be in place during construction and any alternative routes
will be well signed.

Executive Summary
This study was undertaken to analyze existing and predicted future traffic noise conditions in the
vicinity of the Pacific Highway South Phase V Improvement Project. The project will improve
approximately 1.2 miles of Pacific Highway South (SR99) from north of S 340th Street to S
1 359th Street. Improvements will include reconstructing and widening portions of Pacific
Highway South, adding HOV lanes, curb, gutter, and sidewalk on both sides, medians,
landscaping, new and modified signal systems, channelization, street lighting systems,
undergrounding of overhead utilities, and drainage system improvements. Water and sewer line
relocations will be provided where necessary.
The proposed project is located in the City of Federal Way, King County, WA. The project is
located approximately 0.30 miles west of the beginning of Highway 18 in Sections 20 and 29 of
Range 04E, Township 21N. The City of Federal Way zoning designations are currently
commercial including community business and commercial enterprise.
Sound levels for the'Existing 2014','No Build 2035' and'Build 2035' conditions were derived
1 from the Traffic Noise Model (TNM) 2.5, verified with field measurements, and compared with
J the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) standards and criteria. Sound level recording and modeling was
undertaken in accordance with FHWA guidelines and standards. A total of ten receivers were
modeled within the project area. As per WSDOT guidelines, all receivers were modeled for the
worst case hourly condition in the project area as a whole (the PM peak hour). Traffic data
provided by KPG, Inc. were used for 'Existing 2014,' 'No Build 2035', and'Build 2035'
conditions.
JThis study shows that noise above established thresholds (as defined by FHWA/WSDOT) do
occur and will continue to occur at along the project corridor. The greatest increase in sound
Jlevel experienced under the 'Build 2035' condition as compared to the existing condition is 4
dB(A) at receiver 10, and the highest sound level modeled under the'Build 2035' condition is 78
dB(A) at receiver 1.

abatement policy. It was concluded that none of the abatement measures are `feasible or
reasonable' by Federal Highway Administration/Washington State Department of Transportation
criteria.

1. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to document and analyze existing traffic noise conditions and
_I predicted future traffic noise conditions in the vicinity of the improvements to Pacific Highway
South. Sound levels for the `Existing 2014', `No Build 2035' and `Build 2035' conditions were
compared with the FHWA / WSDOT standards and criteria. Sound levels were derived from the
FHWA approved noise model., TNM 2.5. Calculations generated by the model were verified
I using field measurements in accordance with FHWA and WSDOT requirements. This report
was used to determine whether or not noise abatement measures should be warranted as part of
the proposed project, and as appropriate, to make recommendations regarding such options.
1.1 Noise Characteristics and Measurement
1.1.1 Defining Noise
Noise is defined as unwanted sound (Maekawa and Lord., 1994; Bell et al., 1996; Berglund et
al., 1996). Noise is recognized as having both a physical and a psychological component. The
physical component is set, while the psychological component (the degree of annoyance)
depends on the listener and their physiological and psychological state as well as the frequency
and time of the varying pattern of the sound. Low frequency (particularly anthropogenic
' sources) and impulse sounds are thought to result in higher levels of annoyance (Berglund et al.,
1975; Hall et al., 1981; Maekawa and Lord, 1994; Bell et al., 1996; Berglund et al., 1996).
1.1.2 Measuring Noise
JWhen measuring noise, the decibel scale, the A -weighted network, and the descriptor Leq are
usually used to describe and quantify the noise levels experienced by a receiver. These
descriptors are described in the following paragraphs.
The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale, derived from the Pascal scale and based on sound
pressure levels (the physical correlate of loudness). The threshold of human hearing is at 20
J micropascals or 0 dB. A change of 20 dB corresponds to a ten -fold increase in micropascals.
Thus, 20 dB is equivalent to 200 micropascals. However, the decibel scale provides a better
J approximation of the perception of loudness than the Pascal scale, 1 dB indicates the same
fractional change in sound pressure at all levels. Generally, a 3 dB increase is barely perceptible
Noise Study: Pat fic Highway South Pbase V fInprouenient Project 1
Cin, of Federal V av �Iav 2014
J
to human listeners. A 6 dB increase corresponds to a doubling of the sound pressure; however, a
10 dB increase is necessary for the sound to be perceived as being twice as loud (FHWA, 1995;
Maekawa et al., 1994; Boeker and Van Grondelle, 1995). Refer to Table 1 for examples of
typical sound source levels.

The type of weighting curve used in measuring sound is important in determining the accuracy
of the result as a measure of the impact of the sound on those hearing it. The frequency of sound
determines the ability of the human auditory system to detect it. As the sound of a constant
sound pressure level decreases in frequency from about 1 kHz or increases in frequency from
about 5 kHz, its perceived loudness decreases. Therefore, in order to measure what is actually
being heard by humans, measurement of sound pressure level is adjusted to account for the
relative loudness of the frequency through the use of weighting networks (A, B and C) in sound
level meters. Networks are based on approximate equal -loudness contours rather than the
hearing threshold curve. The A -weighted network is considered to most accurately represent
human perception of noise (Maekawa and Lord, 1994; Boeker and Van Grondelle, 1995;
Berglund et al., 1996).
The descriptor used to measure traffic -induced sound levels in this study is dB(A) Leq(1 h), which
is defined as the equivalent A -weighted sound level [the logarithmic sum of sound exposure
levels (SELs)] over 1 hour.

3. Criteria for Determining Impacts
This section discusses applicable noise regulations and agency guidelines that provide the basis
for evaluating potential noise impacts and mitigation or abatement for a proposed project. Noise
regulations and guidelines for federally funded highway projects in Washington are established
by the WSDOT and the FHWA. The FHWA (23 C.F.R. §772.5(g)) defines traffic noise impacts
to occur either when:
. predicted traffic noise levels approach or exceed the noise abatement criteria;
. predicted traffic noise levels substantially exceed the existing noise levels; or
predicted traffic noise levels are severe noise levels
1 The WSDOT has defined `approach' to be within 1 dB(A) below the FHWA noise abatement
criteria of 67 dB(A) and has defined `substantially exceed' to be a 10 dB(A) increase over
existing noise levels. A severe impact is defined as a level greater than 80 dB(A) Leq(lh).
Therefore, a noise impact is determined to occur when predicted noise levels `approach' or
`exceed' the FHWA noise abatement criteria] as given in Table 2 or when predicted noise levels
1 are 10 dB(A) or greater over the existing level. For example, traffic noise impacts for Activity
Category B (residences, schools etc.) would occur if predicted noise levels were to be equal or
1 greater than 66 dB(A) Leq (1 h).

Sound levels generated by any proposed project are primarily compared to the FHWA / WSDOT
standards and criteria rather than to the `Existing' condition or to the `No Build 2035' condition.
The project proponent is required to consider mitigation options when the proposed project
meets or exceeds FHWA / WSDOT standards and criteria. In a case where the criteria are
exceeded by a lesser degree as a result of the proposed project than under the `Existing'
condition, the project proponent is still required to consider mitigation options.

4. Methods
4.1 Field Data Collection
Sound levels were recorded in the field on March 21, 2014. Sound level recordings were made
at two sites between 2 and 4 pm. Refer to Figure 3 and the data sheets provided in Appendix C.
Recordings were made using a Larson and Davis Type 1 Sound Level Meter (model 820) and the
following variables:
I• Descriptor: Leq ■ Sample rate, 15 minutes
■ Integration rate: Fast a Weighting, A
The timing and source of other noises perceptible above the traffic noise were also noted. The
sound level meter, microphone, and calibrator were within factory calibration. Calibration
certificates for the meter, microphone, and calibrator are provided in Appendix A. The
microphone was placed 5 feet off the ground, sites that were chosen were areas of potential
d
i outdoor human use (refer to Appendix Q.
Traffic data collected in the field was used to validate the model in accordance with FHWA and
WSDOT requirements. Traffic data and weather conditions collected in the field at the time of
1 the sound recording were entered into the model. The following traffic data and baseline
information was recorded during each 15-minute sound recording interval:
■ total numbers of each traffic type (automobiles, medium trucks [2 axles and 6 tires]
heavy trucks [greater than 2 axles / 6 tires], buses, and motorbikes) directionally
separated;
■ average speed
J ■ temperature
■ humidity
JSound levels calculated by the model were compared with those recorded in the field. The
acceptable margin of error between the field recordings and the modeled results were plus or
_i minus 2 dB(A). The data collected at sites one and two were used to validate the model. The
J difference between the field recording and modeled results was within 2 dB(A).

4.2 Traffic Noise Model
The FHWA traffic noise model version 2.5 (TNM) was used to model the existing and future
(`Build 2035' and `No Build 2035') road traffic -induced noise environment within the project
area.
4.2.1 Receivers
A total of ten receivers were modeled. Of the receivers modeled, the majority are offices or
hotels characterized as `Activity Category E' receivers. Other receivers include one Category B
receiver, a single family residence, and two Category C which are churches. Other surrounding
retail locations do not have noise abatement criteria. For all Category B and C receivers the
impact criterion is 66 dB(A), for Category E the impact criterion is 71 dB(A).
Receivers were chosen based on the following factors:
1. Proximity to the existing and proposed roadway. Sites most likely to be impacted
were favored.
2. Location along the corridor. Receivers were selected along the length of the project
corridor to a distance which would include all receivers which may experience noise
impacts. Modeling limits are extended to reach any location which reaches 65 dB(A)
to ensure the full impacted area is captured.
3. Primary areas of outdoor use. Receivers were placed at sites which appeared to have
the most foot traffic.
4. Sites which would be removed as a result of the proposed project or which were too
close to the roadway to model were not selected.
As per WSDOT guidelines, all receivers were modeled for the worst case condition in the project
area as a whole (the PM peak hour) for 2014 and 2035.

4.2.2 Traffic Data
4.2.2.1 Existing Condition
Traffic Data
Traffic data for the PM Peak Hour was provided by KPG, Inc. based on tube counts conducted
within the project corridor. Tube count data provided traffic numbers for both the project
corridor and side streets. Data was directionally separated (Refer to Appendix B).
Data Used in TNM
Percentages of vehicle type were based on heavy truck data provided by KPG, Inc. Speeds along
the corridor were based on posted speed limits.
4.2.2.2 No Build 2035 Condition
Predicted counts from KPG, Inc. were used to model the `No Build 2035' condition.
Percentages of vehicle types and speeds were assumed to be the same as for the `Existing 2014'
condition. Refer to Appendix B for the traffic data and the vehicle percentages used to model the
`No Build 2035' condition. The posted speed for each roadway was used, resulting in the worst
hourly noise conditions.
4.2.2.3 Build 2035 Condition
Predicted counts were also used to model the `Build 2035' condition. Percentages of vehicle
types were assumed to be the same as for the `Existing 2014' and `No Build 2035' conditions.
The roads were assumed to have the same posted speed. Refer to Appendix B for the traffic data
used to model the `Build 2035' condition.

5. Results
5.1 Existing Noise Environment
5.1.1 Field Measurement
Sound levels were recorded in the field at two sites along the project corridor. Data from these
sites was compared to the modeled results (based on traffic data collected during the sound level
recording) in order to validate the model in accordance with WSDOT requirements. WSDOT
requires that the modeled results and the field measurements come within plus or minus 2 dB(A)
of one another. Validation site one (Receiver 1) was located near the southern limits of the
project at the Brooklake Church Office. Validation site two (Receiver 2) was located at the
western end of the project near the New Community Church. The Leq levels measured in the
field were 78.3 dB(A) at site 1 and 70.0 dB(A) at site 2. The Leq levels calculated by the model
were 76.4 dB(A) at site 1 and 68.7 dB(A) at site 2. Therefore, the results are within the
acceptable margin of error, and modeling of all receivers under all conditions (Existing, No
Build, and Build) could proceed. The meter was correctly calibrated at the time of recording.
The field validation site is depicted in Figure 2.
Environmental conditions recorded during field measurements are as follows:
■ Temperature, 66°F;
• Relative Humidity, 65%
Sound levels at all field recording sites were dominated by vehicular traffic. Refer to the data
sheets provided in Appendix C.

5.2 Future Noise Environment
The `2035 Build' scenario does not predict a substantial increase over the existing condition at
any of the twelve receivers. Seven of the receivers modeled approached or exceeded the noise
level criteria under the '2035 No Build' and eight exceeded the criteria under `2035 Build'
conditions. Refer to Table 3 for the results of the predicted future dB(A) sound level under each
condition.

5.3 Summary of Modeled Results
This study shows that noise above established thresholds (as defined by FHWA/WSDOT) do
occur and will continue to occur at along the project corridor. The greatest increase in sound
level experienced under the 'Build 2035' condition as compared to the existing condition is 4
�j dB(A) at receiver 10, and the highest sound level modeled under the'Build 2035' condition is 78
I dB(A) at receivers 1.
Based on the results of this study, eight receivers that require abatement consideration would
experience traffic noise impacts (as defined by FHWA/WSDOT) as a result of the proposed
project.
5.4 Construction Noise
Short-term noise impacts would occur as a result of construction activities. General construction
activities (such as grading, laying base, and paving) would take place as part of the proposed
project. Based on WSDOT guidance, short-term noise impacts are expected to radiate up to a
maximum of one mile from the project area. Based on the data tabulated by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and WSDOT (refer to Table 3), sound levels generated during
construction are not expected to exceed 95 dB(A). Construction equipment sounds (usually
point source) decrease about 6 dB(A) with every doubling of distance. Table 4 depicts typical
construction equipment sound levels 50 feet from there source. Surrounding commercial sites
would temporarily experience higher noise levels as a result of construction.

The City of Federal Way Municipal Code Chapter 7.10 defines public disturbance noise which
would be regulated. Section 7.10.020 (8) includes "sounds originating from construction sites,
including but not limited to sounds from construction equipment, power tools and hammering
between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. on
weekends." Construction noise created outside of these hours is exempt from the City's noise
ordinance.

Even though construction noise from 7 am to 8 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 8 pm on weekends
is exempt under the City's noise ordinance and is not required to be mitigated, some simple
measures can be taken to minimize construction noise. Some suggestions are discussed in the
next section.
■ Minimize construction noise by turning off engines when not in use.
• Back up alarms can produce some objectionable sound, although they are exempt
{ from the state noise ordinance. It is recommended that vehicles drive forward as
much as possible to avoid the use of -the backup alarm.
• Substitute hydraulic or electric models for impact tools such as rock drills or
jackhammers.

6. Mitigation Needs
As discussed in Section 3, the project proponent is required to consider mitigation options when
the proposed project meets or exceeds FHWA/ WSDOT criteria/standards regardless of whether
or not the criteria/standards were met or exceeded under the `Existing' condition. As this study
identifies noise impacts, mitigation measures need to be fully evaluated in accordance with
- FHWA and WSDOT noise abatement policy for receivers that would be impacted by the
proposed project. FHWA and WSDOT require that construction of noise barriers be evaluated
for feasibility and reasonableness.
Feasibility deals primarily with engineering considerations such as whether or not a substantial
reduction in sound levels can be achieved and whether or not abatement measures would affect
property access. To be feasible, a noise wall must be constructed to achieve a reduction of at
least 5 dB(A) for the majority of impacted first row receivers. Reasonableness assesses the
practicality of the abatement measure including: cost, the amount of noise reduction, and future
traffic levels. To be reasonable, a noise reduction of at least 7 dB(A) at one sensitive receiver
must be achieved. The WSDOT noise mitigation cost per residence is given in the following
table.

There are eight receivers which meet or exceed noise level criteria. Six of these receivers are
offices and hotels which are designated as Category E receivers. In order to maintain access to
these businesses and their parking lots, a noise wall is not feasible.
One receiver on the north end of the project is a church, a Category C receiver. This church is
very close to Pacific Highway and exceeds noise level criteria under existing conditions. A
barrier in this location would have to maintain access to the building though the one driveway
which is available. Any barrier would not meet the insertion loss requirement while
maintaining access.
One receiver affected by the project is a residences, (Category B). The residence is located on
Pacific Highway but the only access is via S 35151 Street, a private road, on the north side of the
home. There is also an additional residence and a pump station to the west which are only
accessible via this private road. Any barrier in this location would not meet the insertion loss
requirement while maintaining access and is therefore not considered reasonable or feasible.
