SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are
significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization, or compensatory
mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts, or if an environmental impact statement will be
prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants: Jelpl
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each
question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or
private consultant for some questions. You may use `not applicable" or "does not apply" only whenyou can explain why it does not
apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies and/or reports.
Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process, as well as later in the
decision -making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts ofyourpmposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different
parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The
agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information
reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal,
and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first, but not necessarily the only source of
information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead
agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans, and programs), complete the applicable parts of
sections A and B, plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROIECT ACTIONS apart D) Please completely answer all
questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal,"
"proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for nonprojects) questions in
Part B (Environmental Elements) that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

There are no fish -bearing or perennial streams on or near the site. A man-made ephemeral ditch,
unnamed, connects Wetland EE to Wetland DR. An ephemeral stream (Stream EA) occurs in the
southeast portion of the project area. See attached Wetland report for more details. 13 on -site
wetlands occur within the project limits. Onsite Wetlands: DP (PFO), DQ (PSS), DR (PSS), DT (PSS),
DU (PSS), DW (PFO), DX (PFO), DZ (PFO), EB (PFO/PSS), EC (PFO), ED (PFO), EE (PSS), and EF (PFO).

EF. Wetlands DP, DR, and DT will not be impacted. Stream EA will not be impacted. See attached
work plans and report for more details.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or
wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. BLelpj
The following description includes both Building B and Building A project limits as they are in close
proximity to each other. Building A, under separate SEPA, will be constructed ahead of Building B.
Total wetland fill to equal ±435 cubic yards.
Fill materials will be sourced from the project site.
The filling of these wetlands will have no long-term impacts on the surrounding hydrology. The
runoff from the Site in the post -development condition will be detained within the proposed
Stormwater pond to the south before being discharged under Highway 18. This path of water
movement will be the same in the post -development condition as from the pre -development
condition.
Wetland EE does currently drain to Wetland DR through a culvert and associated ditch that was
artificially constructed many years ago. That artificial connection between Wetlands EE and DR will
be removed in the post -development condition as previous City concerns regarding the Site's
stormwater discharges disallowed any site runoff to be conveyed to these remaining wetlands.

approximate quantities if known.
No
5) Does the proposal he within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note the location on the site plan. help

pond at the southern end of the site, shared with Building "A." Once detained and treated for water
quality, the storm water will be released to the downstream system, including the off -site wetlands.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. DLelp

quickly contained and where the risk of hazardous materials entering surface water is minimized.
b. Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: traffic, equipment,
operation, other)? VLe1pJ
The primary source of noise near the project site is from vehicular traffic along Weyerhaeuser Way S
and Hwy-18. It is not anticipated to materially impact the proposed project in any way.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or a long-
term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise would come
from the site.&C-IPI
Short-term impacts would result from the use of construction equipment during the site
development. Construction would occur during permitted construction hours and always in
compliance with the City of Federal Way noise regulations. Long-term impacts would be those
vehicular trips associated with the Building. Noise generated from the proposed Building and office
operations is not expected to impact surrounding properties.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: el
Construction activity will be limited to permitted construction hours and construction equipment
will not be allowed to idle for continuous periods of time, which will help mitigate the impacts of
potential construction noise.

d. Proposed measures to avoid, minimize, or compensate for loss, changes to, and disturbance to resources. Please
include plans for the above and any permits that may be required.
If any such historic or cultural evidence is encountered during construction or installation of
improvements, work will be halted in the area and a state -approved archeologist/historian will be
engaged to investigate, evaluate and/or move or curate such resources, as appropriate.
14. Transportation
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site or affected geographic area and describe proposed access to
the existing street system. Show on site plans, if any. VLe1W
The project site is primarily served by Weyerhaeuser Way S, north of Highway 18. Passenger vehicle

Daily Passenger Vehicle Trips will be 763
Daily Truck Trips will be 191
Total Daily Trips (Passenger and Truck) will be 954
More information can be found in the Traffic Impact Analysis, dated March 6, 2018.
f. Will the proposal interfere with, affect, or be affected by the movement of agricultural and forest products on
roads or streets in the area? If so, generally describe.
Not expected.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any. VLe1PJ
Payment of the City's transportation impact fee is expected, which will help fund City-wide
transportation improvements. Signage and proper education will be utilized to deter trucks from going
past the designated truck entrance on Weyerhaeuser Way S, heading northbound toward 320th St.
Modifications to existing northbound center left -turn lane are described in the recent TIA. Furthermore,
the City is requesting full width street frontage improvements along Weyerhaeuser Way S parallel to the
Building A and B properties.
15. Public services
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection, police protection,
public transit, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe. VLel
The completed Building facility would result in a slight increased need for public services to include fire
