INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN 
THE CITY OF BURIEN 
and 
THE PORT OF SEATTLE 
THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement," is entered
into pursuant to Chapter 39.34 RCW by and between the CITY OF BURIEN, a Washington
municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Burien") and the PORT OF SEATTLE, a
Washington municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Port") (collectively "Parties"). 
RECITALS 
A. Burien is a non-charter code city organized pursuant to Chapter 35A.13 RCW of the laws of 
the State of Washington having authority to enact laws and enter into agreements to promote the
health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, and thereby control the use and development of property
within its jurisdiction. 
B. The Port is a municipal corporation, with authority under Title 53 RCW, and Title 14 RCW of
the laws of the State of Washington, and other federal, state and local laws, to enter into agreements
concerning use and disposition of Port-owned real property. 
C. The Port owns certain real property, as depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto, located within
the City of Burien (the "Property"). 
D. Des Moines Memorial Drive South generally traverses the Property, and the City of SeaTac is
the owner and operator of a stormwater culvert underneath Des Moines Memorial Drive South 
(the "Upper Culvert") that is currently in need of replacement.  Work on the west side of Des
Moines Memorial Drive South is located within the boundaries of City of Burien. 
E. The Port owns and operates Sea-Tac International Airport ("Airport").  As a condition of
building the Third Runway at the Airport, the Port was required by Clean Water Act ("CWA")
Section 404 Permit #1996-04-02325(Amended-2) issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
("Corps") and associated CWA Section 401 certification issued by the Washington Department of
Ecology ("Ecology") to construct and maintain two wetland mitigation sites, one site (commonly
known as the "Williams Property Mitigation Area") which is upstream and generally located
northwest of the Upper Culvert and a second site (commonly known as the "Des Moines Nursery
Mitigation Area") which is downstream and generally located to the southeast of the Upper Culvert 
(collectively, the "Mitigation Sites"). 
F. The Upper Culvert is directly connected via a stormwater pipe that runs beneath the Des Moines
Storage Facility property to a downstream culvert to the south of the Des Moines Mini-Storage
Facility property (the "Lower Culvert").  The Lower Culvert is on private property and has
discharged sediment and other material to the Des Moines Nursery Mitigation Area. Miller Creek
also currently flows to Puget Sound via the Upper and Lower Culverts.

G. The Port is required by the Corps permit and Ecology certification to maintain and ensure
performance of the Mitigation Sites. In connection with the Corps permit, the Port has executed
and recorded two restrictive covenant instruments in favor of the Corps that encumber the
Mitigation Sites: a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (Des Moines Way Nursery Mitigation
Area) (King County Recorder No. 20030312001776) and a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants
(Williams Property Mitigation Area) (King County Recorder No. 20160630000538) (collectively,
the "Restrictive Covenants"). 
H. In order to address the drainage, water quality, and fish passage issues presented by the current
infrastructure, Burien has proposed to remove the failing Upper Culvert and disconnect publicly
conveyed stormwater from the Lower Culvert, daylight Miller Creek so that it no longer flows
through the Upper and Lower Culverts, and construct a new fish-passable culvert in a different
location (generally referred to herein as the "Project"). Burien has completed design work for the
Project and will oversee construction work by its contractor. The Project will require construction
work by Burien within the Mitigation Sites and on nearby Port-owned property. 
I. The Port's obligation under the Corps permit to conduct monitoring within the Mitigation Sites
is currently due to be fulfilled in 2025. The work within the Mitigation Sites will extend the
monitoring period required by the Corps permit after construction of the Project is complete.
J. To comply with requirements imposed by the Corp under permit (application # NWS-2018-
1060) and Ecology authorization, Burien may need access to Port owned property.
K. Burien's proposal will benefit the Port by eliminating the risk of future impacts to performance
of its Mitigation Sites, so the Port has agreed to help fund Burien's project and undertake the
additional monitoring required within the Port's Mitigation Sites, subject to the terms and
conditions of this agreement. 
L. Burien and the Port are entering into this Agreement pursuant to the authority granted in Chapter
39.34 Revised Code of Washington (Interlocal Cooperation Act). 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants of the Parties 
contained herein, and pursuant to Chapter 39.34 RCW, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

performance of or a failure to complete the Project and/or Burien's corrective
actions relating thereto as long as the Port has specifically and accurately identified
where the easements, encumbrances, and improvements are located.   This
obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

The policy shall be endorsed to make Burien's and the Contractors' insurance primary
and non-contributory to any insurance the Port may carry. The policy shall be endorsed
with a waiver of subrogation or a waiver of the transfer of the rights of recovery in

Burien and Contractor as it relates to the Project and Property. The policy shall cover
all claims occurring during the Project, including claims from incidents occurring

following the end of the Project. The policy shall cover clean-up and remediation as
well  as  third  party  bodily  injury,  third  party  property  damage,  and  cleanup

specifically agree that Burien, its Contractors (of any tier), and its insurer(s) shall not
be liable for preexisting pollution or conditions at the Project site. 
B. Insurance Terms 
(1) Cancellation/Non-Renewal - Insurance is to remain current throughout the term of the
Agreement.
(2) Burien is responsible for complying with the Washington State laws that pertain to
industrial insurance (Reference Revised Code of Washington, Title 51 Industrial

above. 
(4) Burien has the option to self-insure under RCW 48.62; specifically, RCW 48.62.031
and RCW 48.62.071 provided it is solvent and fully funded to pay, adjust and respond
to claims in an equivalent manner to commercial insurance.  This option is void if there
is any finding from the State Auditor in the past three years preceding this Agreement
in which Burien was insufficiently funded to pay for claim obligations. The option to
self-insure includes programs that combine self-insurance with commercial insurance.
10

If Burien chooses to self-insure the Port shall be provided documentation and a
statement that Burien is funded to the level and dollar amount of claims anticipated for
the Project in this Agreement and to the levels of commercial insurance specified
above. The option to self-insure does not include Contractors. 
C. Waiver of Subrogation.  Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Burien and
Contractor (for itself and on behalf of anyone claiming through or under it by way of
subrogation or otherwise) hereby waive any rights they may have against the Port, its
officers, agents and employees (whether in contract or in tort) on account of any loss or
damage occasioned to City or Contractor arising out of or incident to the perils required to
be insured against under this Agreement. Accordingly, Burien and Contractor shall cause
each commercial insurance policy required by this Agreement to further contain a waiver
of subrogation clause. The effect of such release and waiver of the right to recover damages
shall not be limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles
applicable thereto. 
D. Participation in a self-insured, governmental risk pool shall satisfy the conditions set forth
in this agreement for Burien; Burien's Contractor will need to provide evidence of
commercial insurance as required herein.
