SEPA Checklist (3).pdfPurpose of Checklist.-
The
hecklist.
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental
impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with
probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help
you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to
help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
Instructions for Applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this
checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer
the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer
the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if
a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may
avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if
you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you.
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.
NOTE: Projects generating new traffic will be required to submit a Traffic Study prepared by a licensed Professional Civil Engineer.
Specific requirements for the Traffic Study may vary depending upon the project, and will be provided by the City Engineer upon
request. Please contact the Engineering Division at 425-771-0220 for specific study requirements. City review of the Traffic Study
may require assessment of the "Development Project Peer Review" fee of $45 plus the cost of the review.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete
the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as
"proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

The intersection of SR99 @ 76t1i Avenue W. has had many accidents over the last 10 years. The project's main
objectives are to relocate left turn movements, for traffic coming from the north, from 76t1i Avenue West to 228"i Street
SW and create a new east / west connection from SR99 to I-5 and the Mountlake Terrace Park -n -Ride. It is proposed
that this project install a raised median on SR99 to prohibit left turns onto 76th Avenue W and a traffic signal at the
intersection of SR99 @ 228t1i Street SW to provide a protected movement for vehicles and a safe place for pedestrians
to cross. In addition, 228th Street SW will be extended through the unopened right-of-way to the east of SR99, and
additional illumination would be provided to further improve pedestrian safety. A new traffic signal will also be added at
the intersection of 76th Avenue W @ 228t11 Street SW. The project will also include the overlay of 228th St. SW from 76"'
Ave. W to the Andorra Estates on Lake View Dr. (in Mountlake Terrace), 76th Ave. W from 228th St. SW to Hwy. 99,
and 228th St. SW from Hwy. 99 to 801h Ave. W.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other:
Gentle slope
Page 2 of 13
sepa_application perteetl.doc:5.7.2012
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
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 prime farmland.
Various types of fill and alluvium outwash soils overlying glacial till and advance outwash deposits. West of Hwy.
99 along 228`x' St. SW, loose to dense silty sand was explored (pending Final Geotechnical Report).
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
two
e. Describe the purpose, type and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source
of fill.
The proposed extension of 228th Street SW connecting SR99 with 76th Avenue SW will require the construction of
a roadway supported by an earth fill ramp confined by retaining walls on both the north and south sides. The
storm water detention vault is proposed to be founded and encapsulated within the ramp fill below the new
roadway. The vault structures can be supported on the existing soil or on properly compacted structural fill
placed over the existing soil. The new embankment fill will vary in thickness from about 10 feet at the western end
to zero where it joins 76th Avenue West (The project includes approximately 1,280 cubic yards of cut and 2,870
cubic yards offrll.)
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
No long term erosion is anticipated as part of this project. Some minor short term erosion during construction
could occur; however, the implementation of erosion control measures and Best Management Practices (BMP's)
should significantly reduce or eliminate the potential for construction related erosion. After the project is
operational, most of the project area will be covered by non -polluting -generating impervious paved srafaces
connected to stormwater management facilities (such as detention vault or infiltration galleries) capable of
handling runoff or infiltration without resulting in significant erosion.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for
example, asphalt or buildings)?
100%
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Best Management Practices (BMP's) to be implemented for erosion controls during construction include silt
fences, stabilized construction entrances, and inlet protection for catch basins. A Temporary Erosion and
Sediment Control (TESL) plans is being prepared as part of the project design phase. The selected BMP's shall
be considered minimum erosion control measures and if conditions warrant, additional BMP's shall be installed
and maintained The contractor will provide a certified erosion and sediment control lead (CESCL) to monitor
the site throughout construction. Responsibilities of the CESCL will include implementing and maintaining the
TESC for effectiveness. Should the measures proposed in the approved TESL plan prove inadequate, the CESCL
will upgrade or replace BMP's as needed to comply with County and Washington State Department of Ecology
requirement.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial
wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give
approximate quantities if known.
During construction, temporary emissions will be noticeable from buck traffic and heavy machinery.
Approximately 7,500 vehicles will travel along this new . roadway, a stretch currently untraveled. For more

detailed information, please see the air quality analysis prepared by Michael Minor and Associates for the
project.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may effect your proposal? If so, generally describe.
No offsite sources of emissions or odor have been identified that will affect the proposed project.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to the, if any:
The construction contractor will be required to comply with PSCAA Regulation I, Section 9.15 requiring
reasonable precautious to avoid dust emissions. Construction -industry BMP's will be incorporated into
construction plans and contractor specifications, which could include, but not to be limited to, the following:
spraying exposed soil with water, covering exposed soil during grading, covering all truck beds transportation
materials, wetting materials in trucks, and providing wheel washers for trucks traveling offsite. To reduce carbon
monoxide and particulate emissions from gasoline and diesel engines, construction equipment will have the best
available emission control devices generally available to the contractor. The project is located in a carbon
monoxide and ozone maintenance area. The project is consistent with the goals and implementation methods
included in the Washington State Department of Ecology State Implementation Plan (SIP). This project is
included in the 2012 Transportation Plan for the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), which has been
demonstrated to meet regional air quality conformity requirements in the federal and state Clean Air Acts. Since
the project is included in these plans, which conform to state and federal regulations, the project is also
considered to demonstrate project -level conformityfor ozone.
