ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose ofchecklist
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 ifyou can. Ifyou 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 ifthere may be significant adverse impact.
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 SUPPLI21AENT.AL 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 "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

The project will consist of Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater improvements on a 1.1 -acre section of Main
Street in Edmonds, WA between 5th and 6th Avenue. The existing street will be reconstructed with 11 -foot traffic lanes
and 7 -foot parking lanes. Sidewalks will be widened to 12 feet from the current 10 -foot width. Sidewalk bulb -outs are
proposed at the intersection of 6th Avenue and Main Street and at a new mid -block pedestrian crossing. The existing
bulb -out at Fifth Avenue and Main will be retained. The mid -block crossing will be raised approximately 6 inches for
traffic calming. Crosswalks will be paved with stamped and colored concrete to match existing crosswalks at 5`h Avenue
and Main Street. The roadway surface will be paved with hot -mix asphalt (HMA). It is anticipated that approximate
existing grades will be maintained and HMA paving will consist of a two-inch overlay. A gravel -backfilled trench located
in the center of the roadway will capture stormwater, achieving maximum separation distance from the buildings
abutting the right of way on each side of the street. It is likely that existing asphalt will be ground down to accommodate
the overlay and maintain existing grades. Streetscape improvements include new lighting, trees, flower poles and
planters (see Figure 2, Concept Plan).
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 required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or
detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist.
The proposal is located within Section 24, Township 27N, Range 3E. The project area is Main Street in downtown
Edmonds, between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue (see Figure 1, Vicinity Map, and Figure 2, Concept Plan). The

other......
b. W1iat is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The project site is a relatively flat paved roadway.
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.
Soils on the site are sandy fill and sandy advance outwash. The NRCS Web Soil Survey maps
indicate the soils in the project location are primarily Alderwood-Urban land complex (2-8%
slopes), and Everett gravelly sandy loam (0-8% and 15-25% slopes).
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
There is no indication of unstable soils in the project vicinity.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
Trenching for utilities will require removal of approximately 400 cubic yards (cy) of soil, which will
be used to backfill trenches. Other grading will be minor and incidental.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Erosion could occur during construction. Temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures
(TESL) would be implemented to reduce the risk of construction -related erosion.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
This project will not add any new impervious surfaces. The entire project (1.1 acre site) is
impervious, and there will be no change in the amount of impervious surface after construction.
TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
It. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
All earthwork on the site and site preparation would be conducted in compliance with relevant
grading criteria set forth in the Edmonds Municipal Code. During earthwork, the following TESC
measures would be implemented to reduce the risk of construction -related erosion:
• No soil will be left uncompacted and exposed to moisture
• Work areas and soil stockpiles will be covered with plastic as necessary during rainy
weather. Bales of straw and/or geotextile silt fences will be used as appropriate to
control soil erosion and stormwater runoff.
• Excavation and fill placement will be observed on a full-time basis by an engineer or
engineer's representative that is experience in wet weather earthwork to determine
that unsuitable materials are removed and that suitable compaction and site drainage
is achieved.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (Le., dust, automobile,
odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If
any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known.
Construction of the proposal would result in a temporary increase in air pollution, including
emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and dust from construction activities. By
adhering to applicable construction best management practices (BMPs), and asbestos/hazardous
materials abatement techniques, significant air quality impacts are not anticipated.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
There are no off-site sources of emissions that could affect this proposal.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
Air quality in the City of Edmonds is regulated by Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. This agency has
established regulations that govern the concentration of pollutants and contaminant emissions from
air sources, which the Contractor will be required to follow:
• Whenever possible, energy-efficient construction vehicles will be utilized
• Excessive dust will be reduced by spraying water over disturbed soil areas
• Trucks transporting excavated or fill material will be covered, or have adequate
freeboard to prevent soil particles from blowing off
In addition, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are proposed to be installed at two locations near
the intersection of 6th Avenue and Main Street (locations shown on Figure 2, Concept Plan). EV
charging stations support the use of electric vehicles, which would reduce air pollutants.

Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Any runoff from the site will be conveyed into the City of Edmonds stormwater facilities.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
No waste materials would be discharged into ground or surface waters after completion of
construction.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any:
Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during construction to prevent
impacts to surface water. A primary project objective is to use Low Impact Development
(LID) techniques to manage stormwater quantity and quality. The preliminary selected
technology for the project is to use a gravel -backfilled infiltration trench located in the
TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
center of the roadway. The purpose of locating the trench in the roadway center is to
maintain a maximum separation distance from the buildings abutting the right of way on
each side of the street. Stormwater will be captured for pre-treatment using fixtures such
as Conteeb Catchbasin StormFilter or Filterra Tree Box, to remove suspended sediment
prior to conveyance to the infiltration trench. Additional stormwater control BMPs to be
implemented include:
• Catch basin inserts
• Cover stockpiled material if left unattended for 48 hours
• Street sweeping
• Use of existing conveyance system to outfall
