SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL
CHECK
1,g yea
Purpose of checklist: 111P�Pjlrel zuq
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmeRf i$tof your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, "MInation
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
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

The project is located at 30 Sunshine Drive, Sequim WA. 98382 on Parcel No. 002283032.
Access to the site is from Sunshine Drive off Gardiner Beach Road off Diamond Point Road
north of Highway 101.
B. Environmental Elements HELP
1. Earthh[ eM
a. General description of the site:
The site is generally flat. The high point of the site is located in the northwest corner. The
property slopes gently to the south and east.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope onsite is approximately 5%.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat,
muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any
agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in
removing any of these soils.
The majority of soils on site are classified by the NRCS Soil Survey as Type CmC, or
Clallam gravelly sandy loam. A typical profile consists of 0 - 3 inches of gravelly sandy
loam, 3 - 23 inches of very gravelly sandy loam, 23 - 60 inches of gravelly sand loam with
restrictive layer at 20 to 40 inches. The hydrologic soil group is classified as C.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
No.
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.
Excavation and fill onsite will be limited to that necessary for installation of a single family
residence and associated appurtenances. Approximately 100 cubic yards of cut and fill will
be required. Fill brought onsite will be limited to crushed gravel for the driveway, drain rock
for stormwater dispersion structure and materials as needed for installation of the onsite
septic. Exact source of these materials is unknown at this time, but will be from local gravel
pits.
Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Erosion could occur due to soils being disturbed as needed for installation of residence and
associated appurtenances.
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 3 of 14
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
3%
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Access to the site will be stabilized by early installation of the gravel driveway to help reduce
trackout from the site. Silt fence will be placed along the east edge of the proposed septic
system to prevent sediment laden runoff from entering the wetland in the northeast corner of
the site. Other runoff will be dispersed throughout the site. Site work will be scheduled to
minimize the amount of disturbed soils
2. AirhI elp]
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.
Dust may be generated from construction activities. There will be no emissions
associated with this project after completion.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe. There are no emissions or odors offsite that will affect the proposal.
None.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
None.
3. Waterhf elpl
a. Surface Water:hj e
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including
year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe
type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
A wetland is located in the northeast corner of the property. Eagle Creek is located
approximately 200 feet south and east of the site. A portion of the lot drains to the
wetland in the northeast corner of the site. The rest of the site is assumed to drain to Eagle
Creek.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described
waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
The project will require work adjacent to the wetland. The work within 200 feet of the
wetland will include installation of an onsite septic system and a portion of the work
needed for installation of the SFR and driveway.
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.
None
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 4 of 14
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100 -year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan.
No.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so,
describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
No.
b. Ground Water:hf elpl
1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If so,
give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities
withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or
other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the
following chemicals... ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the
number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
Domestic sewage (240 GPD design flow) from the single family residence will be
discharged to ground through the use of an onsite septic system. The system will consist
of a 1,000 gallon septic tank, 1,000 gallon pump chamber and 134 lineal feet of septic
laterals.
a. Water runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow?
Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Roof runoff will be collected in a 4"0 tightline pipe and discharged into a reforested area
through a dispersion trench. Runoff from the driveway stormwater will sheet flow into a
reforested area.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. No
3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If
so, describe. No.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and
drainage pattern impacts, if any:
Runoff will be controlled by Full Dispersion onsite which will consist of revegetating
portions of the site and installing dispersion facilities for roof runoff.
