SEPA.pdf #P71 CITY OF EDMONDS ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Purpose of Checklist: 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 determiningif there may be significant adverse impact. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals complete this checklist and the supplemental sheet for nonproject actions (Part D). the lead agency may exclude any question for the environmental elements (Part B) which they determine do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposed 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.

Sources of short-term emissions and odors include dust generated by grading activities and combustion emissions from heavy equipment. It is anticipated that these impacts would be minimal. Long-Term Air Quality Impacts: Long-term impacts would result from increased traffic to the site, resulting in a slight increase in carbon monoxide levels. Domestically produced pollutants would be generated after the residential structures are occupied. These impacts are not expected to be significant.

(STAFF COMMENTS) c.Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to the, ifany: Construction Impact Mitigation: The Washington Clean Air Act requires the use of all known, available and reasonable means of controlling air pollution, including dust. Construction impacts would not be significant and the potential for soils to be carried off the site by exiting trucks could be controlled with the construction of a gravel entrance. Additionally, equipment used for site preparation will be serviced and maintained in good operating condition to lessen impacts from this source. Water will also be used for dust control when necessary. Long-Term Air Quality Mitigation: Long-term air quality impacts are no expected to exceed regulated amounts.
