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 VLelpJ
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
when you 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 ofyourptoposal, 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 forI-eadAgendes:
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: h�
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans, and programs), complete the applicable parts of
sections A and B, plus the art ll . 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.

Bulletin #050 — May 1, 2014 Page 3 of 14 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist May 2014
From the Geotechnical Engineering Report provided by GeoResources:
The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Survey (NRCS) Web Soil Survey maps the site as being
underlain by Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. The Alderwood soils are typically derived from glacial till,
form on slopes of 0 to 8 percent, are listed as having a "slight" erosion hazard when exposed, and are
included in hydrologic soils group B. Our test pits encountered somewhat variable subsurface conditions
that generally confirmed the mapped stratigraphy at the site. In general, we encountered about 0.5 to 1
foot of topsoil mantling 2 to 5 feet of brown to tan, orange stained silty sand to silty sand with gravel.
The gravel fraction appeared to increase with depth. We interpret these shallow soils to be weathered
glacial till that appeared to be in a loose to medium dense, moist condition. Below the surficial soils, our
explorations encountered tan to tan and grey silty sand with gravel in a dense to very dense, moist
condition to the full depth explored. We interpret these deeper soils to be consistent with glacial till.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
1el
None known.
e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling,
excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. hf elp
The purposes of the site fill and grade activities are to provide an adequate and level surface for the single-
family units and infrastructure. There will be approximately 900 cubic yards of usable cut and 7,460 cubic
yards of required fill, for a net fill quantity of 6,740 CYDS. Road sections and topsoil for landscape are not
included in this calculation.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. VioLlW
Erosion could occur as a result of clearing and construction, particularly if earthwork is completed during
periods of rainfall. TESC measures will be implemented as approved by the City prior to construction.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for
example, asphalt or buildings)? VLe1W
Less than 40% of the total site will be covered with impervious surfaces, or approximately 43,560 SF,
including the improvements located in public right-of-way.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: BLelpi
The applicant will institute an erosion control plan to be used during earthwork and construction.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction, operation, and
maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate
quantities if known. thelpl
