HomeMy WebLinkAbout12A_SEPA Checklist_2024-0320SEPA Environmental checklist September 2023 Page 1 (WAC 197-11-960) SEPA1 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 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 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 of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for lead agencies Please adjust the format of this template as needed. 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 Nonproject Actions (Part 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 non - projects) questions in “Part B: Environmental Elements” that do not contr ibute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. 1 https://ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/SEPA/Environmental-review/SEPA-guidance/Checklist-guidance Exhibit 12A SEPA Environmental checklist September 2023 Page 2 (WAC 197-11-960) A.Background Find help answering background questions2 1.

There are no plans for additions, expansions, or further activity related to or connected with this proposal except as outlined in the Development Agreement By and Between Jefferson County and Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort, LLP dated June 4, 2018 as amended by County Ordinance 08-0722-19 on July 22, 2019. 8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. 2 https://ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/SEPA/Environmental-review/SEPA-guidance/SEPA-checklist- guidance/SEPA-Checklist-Section-A-Background Exhibit 12A SEPA Environmental checklist September 2023 Page 3 (WAC 197-11-960) Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) published on September 5 and November 27, 2007 respectively and their appendices. Draft and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) published on November 19, 2014 and December 9, 2015 respectively and their appendices. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. Yes. A Water System Plan is under review by the Washington Department of Health. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. Please see list of local and state permits listed in page iv of the FSEIS as revised in the comments to the County Notice of Incompleteness. 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat th ose answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) Please see FSEIS at 1-2 to 1-3. As noted in the cover letter submitted the application for preliminary plat approval, the applicant proposes two changes from the proposal reviewed in the FSEIS. The applicant initially property to use Kettle B to hold stormwater and reclaimed water and now proposed to use Kettle C. The initial proposal would have resulted in a loss of the naturally occurring wetland in Kettle B. The revision preserves the wetland complex in Kettle C. Additionally, the project no longer requires construction of a Large On-Site Septic System (LOSS). The LOSS was initially proposed to serve as bridge for sewer service for the resort while the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was under construction. Finally, the applicant proposes to use the planned maintenance facility as a temporary prefabrication site. Using the planned maintenance facility for prefabrication work will not have any additional impacts beyond what was assessed in the EIS and FEIS fo r construction of the MPR. The only difference is that building elements will be prefabricated indoors rather than assembled on-site outdoors. By locating construction activity indoors it will further minimize exposure of construction materials and equipment to the elements thereby reducing the potential for impacts to stormwater. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans requi red by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist.
