SEPA Environmental Checklist Termination Point MLA 21-00006 ZON 2021-00005 A1) The name of our proposed project is Termination Point. It is the land platted by Mr. Roats the surveyor in 1961. A2) The name of the applicant and the landowner is Termination Point Properties LLC. A3) The office of the above applicant is at: 26548 Miller Bay Road Kingston, WA 98346-9404 The phone there is Russ Trask’s own cell phone: 360-620-3452 no email The contact person is Johnny Magnuson. His home office is at: 8235 Bucklin Hill Road Bainbridge Island, WA 98110-2626 home phone: 206-842-6873 treesteward@hotmail.com A4) The SEPA Checklist was previewed and deemed incomplete by DCD staff on 10/26/2022. This is a new updated version submitted on 12/1/2022. The checklist is for a Storm Water Drain system previously designed. A permit for construction was applied for at Public Works and at DCD in 2021. There is an SSDP attached to the Storm Water Permit. A5) The lead SEPA agency is Jefferson County Department of Community Development. A6) Construction of the permitted Storm Water Drain is planned for June and July of 2023. After completion it will operate autonomously. No further construction work will be required. Bare ground will be seeded with grass, and that will be watered in August and September. Special plants will become established in the bio-swale then, also. A7) The Storm Water Drain will be complete in 2023, no further construction will be required. The bio- swale and the catch basins will need some routine maintenance in the future. As homes are built on the lots, individual connections will be made to the eight- inch collector pipes in the uplands. Neither of these later activities will take place within the two- hundred- foot Shore Line Zone. A8) I’m happy to list surveys and maps related to the site and the project; however, I don’t plan to provide the actual bodies of the work. Surveys: Roats, DC Survey 1961—2022 Geo-Tech: NTI, Jones and Scott, Earth Sciences, Soil Technology, etc. most recently: Stratum 2021 Civil Engineers: ADA, NTI, Justin Wilson Maps: Public Works, and the Applicant Planning Information: DCD A9) There were applications for projects at the site long ago. They included: re-plat, bulkhead, logging, and an old Storm Water Drain plan. These are not current. In 2021 and 2022 there were permits issued for work within the right-of-way. Drawings were made for and approved by the Water and Electric PUD’s. Installation of those utilities is nearly complete now. There are no pending applications besides this one (MLA21-00006 and SSDP.) A10) The proposal of interest here is only a Storm Water Drain system. The permit for it will be issued by Jefferson County DCD as the lead agency for Public Works and SEPA. There is no need to discuss: funding, leases, certificates, or letters of availability. A11) The proposed project is part of a residential development, which was platted in 1961. Fifty-seven, one- third- acre lots were planned. Seven homes have been built. Fifteen lots are sold but have no houses yet. Twelve more lots could be sold in the future. The balance of the land is unsuitable for development. Underground utilities are being installed presently. This project is the Storm Water Drain system for the lots and roads. It will consist of shallow ditch line excavation and placing of rip-rap and a diffuser. A12) Maps and drawings are included in the permit application (MLA21-00006.) They show the site, vicinity, and topography. There is no need to duplicate them here. However, this may help to answer questions: NW ¼ of NW ¼ of Sec 2 T27 R1E WM Jefferson County, WA Intersection of Linda View Drive and Old Shine Road, in Shine, near the north end of the Hood Canal Bridge Nearest house address: Mr. Husfelt 211 Linda View Drive Port Ludlow, WA Jefferson County parcel number: 998600012 N 320756 E 1195501 ft. 47.86503110 - 122.64598350 B1a) The site is large, at nearly twenty-five acres. It has some of each of the listed features. (flat, rolling, steep slope.) Overall, from the shoreline to the highest elevation at lot 42, it is a four to one slope. There are places where the hard clay bank stands at one to one. There are wetland areas that are flat. The saltwater tideland is one thousand feet long. B1b) 100% slope at lot 31. B1c) Many soil types are combined at this large site. They are listed in the County and the Geo-Tech documents. Repeating them here should not be necessary. There is no agricultural land at the site. The shallow trenching proposed will not remove soil from the site. B1d) The lower elevation part of this site is unstable. It is the slide debris field from a scarp that runs across the middle portion of the site. Soils above the scarp are stable. Several Geo-Techs and the County have documented this. B1e) Filling and grading for the Storm Water Drain will be insignificant. All the work consists of shallow trenching, with the native earth tailings going back in to fill the ditch. B1f) During construction there is potential for erosion and siltation. The eight-inch lateral pipes run along mild slopes; but the HDPE pipes are larger (18-inch) and descend steep slopes in two areas. B1g) For this project there will be no addition of impervious surfaces. Years from now, when homes are built, they will introduce impervious surfaces. The purpose of the project is to deal safely with that future addition. Proposed construction activity will not compact soil in the work areas. B1h) Referring to B1f) above: To minimize erosion and siltation during installation of the large pipes, silt fences and straw wattles will be placed along the steep route, and at the discharge. The construction work is planned for summer months. For permanent control, orchard grass will be planted on the backfill of all pipes, large and small. We will ensure that it is established by October. We will also make check dams with rows of small rocks wherever there are trouble spots along the downhill routes. The completed system, by it’s nature, will help to control erosion. 2a) Emissions to the air that could occur during construction are from vehicle exhaust and travel on dry dusty roads. In the completed or permanent situation there will be no emissions from the project. 2b) No offsite emissions should be present to affect our project. Neighboring properties are all residential. They are heavily forested, and sparsely populated. Our southern border is the tideland of Squamish Harbor. 2c) Our own emissions are minimal and will only occur during the summer construction period. We have no plans to control emissions. 3a1) Our own project, the Storm Water Drain, flows with varying intensity in a series of ditches, pipes, and depressions. It could be perceived as a type NP stream. On neighboring property to the east, there is a year- round creek named for the pioneering Cooper family. Both flow into the saltwater of Hood Canal in a cove named Squamish Harbor. There are seeps in the uplands of our site. They enter the Storm Water system and flow to the saltwater. 3a2) Our own project, flowing in a depression of the earth at lot 19, has been assigned a buffer. The buffer has been mapped on the plan set, and mitigation has been prescribed. Cooper creek is sufficiently removed from our site. A buffer two hundred feet from the shoreline has also been mapped on the plan set. 3a3) There will be no filling or dredging at the site. Zero yds3 3a4) There will be no withdrawal of surface water. Zero gpm 3a5) The FEMA map identifies the site as VE, Coastal High Flood Risk. 3a6) No. While it is agreed that road, roof, and yard runoff contain a small amount of contaminants, it is believed that the engineered bio-swale will remove them. It is sized for the task, has check dams and a divider, and it will be fitted with special plants. 3b1) No. Groundwater will not be withdrawn. There are no wells in use at the site. Municipal water is available. Our Storm Water Drain Plan provides a port in the lateral collector pipe for each lot. Homeowners will be urged to direct any roof, foundation, or yard water into the collector. After the bio- swale, all collected storm water travels in pipes rather than open ditches. The Geo-Techs have instructed us and the homeowners to avoid any infiltration. This is because of the unique soil instability at the site. 3b2) The development, when built-out, will have nineteen houses, besides the seven present existing ones. There will be a total of twenty-six single family residences, all with individual septic and municipal water. Domestic sewage is the only foreseen discharge. 3c1) Rainfall on homesites within the development will be collected in long pipes. Roadside runoff will be collected in ditches. These will join to send all water through a bio-swale and large pipes, to be discharged just above the saltwater shoreline. 3c2) See 3b2) above about waste entering groundwater. Waste will not enter surface water, because of the bio-swale filter, 3c3) No. The proposed drain system will not alter drain patterns. Throughout the site, the route coincides with existing flow patterns. The discharge location in lot 19 is even the same. 3d) The proposed Storm Drain system, by it’s nature, will capture and control surface, ground, and runoff water. It’s location within the site terrain is consistent with existing drainage patterns. At several spots along the drain route rip-rap will be placed to dissipate energy and prevent erosion. 4a) Vegetation found at the site: Deciduous trees Alder, Maple Evergreen trees Douglas Fir, White Fir, Hemlock, Cedar Shrubs Salmon Berry, Black Berry, Ironwood, Wild Rose Grass Pasture grass, Fescue Wet soil plants Round Grass, Skunk Cabbage 4b) When the various trench lines are excavated, grass and shrubs will be removed. A Maple tree and several dead standing Cedars will also be removed. The estimated area of disturbed ground is .55 acres. 4c) No threatened or endangered plant species are known to be on the site. 4d) The Biologist has recommended planting certain things for the mitigation plan. My own standard practice is to carefully set aside and later replant all Ferns. I always plant lots of grass too. Taken together these actions will preserve or enhance vegetation on the site. 4e) Noxious weeds and invasive species at the project site include Black Berry and English Ivy. 5a) A list of birds and other animals known to be at the site: Robin, Seagull, Eagle, Sparrow, Deer, Squirrel, Racoon, Crab, Oyster, Clam 5b) There are no known threatened or endangered species on the site. The Eagle is, I believe, simply “protected.” 5c) I’m not aware of any migration route for birds or fish. 5d) Measures to preserve wildlife: Post clearing limits at nesting areas. 5e) No invasive animal species are known to be at the site. 6a) No utility type energy will be used to meet the completed projects needs. It is purely a gravity system. There are no pumps, oxygenation, ozone, UV, etc. 6b) The project will not have elevated features. It will not shade or otherwise affect neighboring solar facilities. 6c) Features to conserve energy are not needed. The system does not use energy. See 6a) above. 7a1) There is no contamination at the site. The area of concern has no structures and very little human activity. The only occupied areas are on the west end, outside of the project. 7a2) No chemicals are stored at the site. No hazardous conditions exist. 7a3) Chemicals to be stored or used during development are limited to diesel fuel, gasoline, pipe joint glue, marking paint, and cleaner. There will be no use or storage of chemicals after completion. 7a4) No need for emergency services is anticipated. Chemicals listed above are of an everyday nature, and their volumes will be small. The workers on site will be able to deal with any mishaps. In the rare and unfortunate event of personal injury from falling tree, rolling pipe, etc. emergency vehicles may be summoned. These vehicles will have favorable access to all areas because of the three gravel roads and the open meadow areas. 7a5) To control environmental health hazards extra empty containers will be kept handy at the site. These will be used to contain trash, and to transfer the contents of any leaking other container. Large empty containers will also be provided to “double-contain” smaller ones holding oil, etc. 7b1) The site is generally very quiet; however, the traffic on nearby Highway 104, and on the bridge is noticeable. It will not affect our project. 7b2) For the future (long- term) structures of the project will be silent. During construction (short term) noise will come from increased auto traffic and the operation of trucks, backhoes, and the pipe welding machine. The hours for this short- term noise will be Monday through Thursday, 8:00 to 5:00. 7b3) It doesn’t seem necessary to control the short-term noise. The nearest neighbors Husfelt and Benson are far enough removed from the work. 8a) The past and current use of the site is residential. Adjacent land is also residential. Completion of the development will enable build-out and additional residential use. Adjacent land will not be affected. 8b) The site is not farmland or forestland. No “conversion” will occur. 8b1) The proposal will not affect, or be affected by, farm or forest operations. They are neither past nor present activities in the vicinity. The entire area of Shine is zoned rural residential. 8c) There are no structures on the site. 8d) No structures will be demolished because there are none. 8e) Current zoning of the site is RR 5; however, because of the existing Plat our lots are smaller, at 1/3 acre. 8f) The Comprehensive Plan designation is RR 5. 8g) The Shoreline designation is Natural. 8h) Yes. Several parts of the site have been addressed by the County Critical Areas Map. The issues pointed out are erosion, seismic hazard, and high landslide hazard. The Coastal Zone Atlas maps parts of the site as URS, unstable recent slides. 8i) The project of concern here is only the Storm Water Drain plan; but in the future it will serve a small community of homes. To estimate future population: Lots 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 20,21 existing, not in project Lots 42 – 56 presently sold 15 homes Lots 22-23-24 25-26-27 28-29-30 33-34-35 future sales 4 homes 19 homes, each with 2.8 people (average) = 53 people would reside in the completed project. The Covenant prohibits commercial activity. No people would work in the completed project. 8j) The project will not displace any people. 8k) No measures are needed to avoid displacement. See 8j) above. 8l) The Storm Water Drain system is compatible with existing land use in the uplands. Ditches and pipes will service residences allowed in RR 5. The discharge portion in the Shore Line zone has been deemed suitable for placement in the Natural designation. 8m) Measures to reduce impact aren’t necessary. There are no agriculture or forest lands in the vicinity. 9a) Upon completion of the development there will be nineteen middle income houses. 9b) Nine middle income units exist presently. They will not be eliminated. Zero. 9c) Measures to reduce housing impacts aren’t necessary. No units will be eliminated. 10a) The Storm Water Drain pipes and ditches are surface-of-the-earth fixtures. The largest pipe, at a location where it is not buried, will be eighteen-inches high. It’s exterior building material will be black plastic (HDPE.) Trash grates above the catch basins will project one foot. They are formed with galvanized steel rods. 10b) No views in the vicinity will be obstructed. See 10a) above. 10c) No measures are needed to reduce aesthetic impacts. Natural understory shrubs will quickly grow to obscure the ditches, pipes, and catch basins. See 10a) above. 11a) No light or glare will be produced. The ditches and pipes don’t have lights or mirrors. 11b) Light and glare will not be safety hazards or interfere with views. See 11a) above. 11c) Offsite light will not affect the proposal. 11d) No measures are needed to control light and glare. See 11a), 11b), and 11c) above. 12a) Recreational opportunities nearby include three public boat launch and beach access areas. Shine Tidelands State Park is just east of the Hood Canal Bridge, at it’s north end. Salsbury Point County Park is just east of the Bridge at it’s south end. W R Hicks County Park is west a short distance along Shine Road. The project site has several walking trails popular with the public. 12b) No. The project will not displace the recreation listed in 12a) above. Specifically, the beach access trail at lot 19 will not be impacted by the pipe installation. 12c) During construction of the discharge in lot 19, improvements could be made to the existing parking area and beach access trail. Additionally, during construction at catch basin three improvements could be made to the walking trail between Linda View Drive and Ricky Beach Drive, 13a) No. There are no structures of any description on the site; so, none could be historic. Note that some such structures do exist, far away to the east. They are within the neighboring development Killapie Beach. 13b) There is no knowledge of artifacts at the site. No discovery or development of them has been planned for. 13c) This determination of absence of artifacts is based upon personal experience at the site. The landowner and I have thirty-eight years of history there. It is also based upon conversations with Cougar Garten, a pioneering early days resident of Shine. Cougar is the author of a book about early history there. We bought the property from the last surviving member of the group of original investors. Mr. Clark shared a bit with us too. No known history or artifacts specific to the site. 13d) Because there are no artifacts known at the site, no protective measures are needed. NOTE: A review of cultural resource mapping does not indicate presence of know cultural resources. If any resources are found on site during the project, an Inadvertent Discovery Plan will be required. Per Jefferson County Staff. 14a) The site is near State Highway 104 and the Hood Canal Bridge. Shine Road a County arterial leads to them from the site. Three smaller public roads pass through the development and divide it into “neighborhoods.” All lots are served directly by these existing roads. Only individual driveways will be needed during build-out in the future. Maps showing this are in the plan set. 14b) No. The nearest transit stops are at the east and west sides of Highway 104, just at the north end of the Hood Canal Bridge. About one-half-mile from the site. 14c) Within the development, when it is completed, parking will be in the individual lots, or parallel along any of the three public roads. The question about parking “spaces” doesn’t apply. 14d) Presently the roads and pedestrian trails are adequate. No new creations or improvements are required. 14e) No. Because of the rural location, water, rail, and air transportation are not options.
