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 determining if there
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 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.

Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the
environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the
proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond
briefly and in general terms.
How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of
toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
The proposal will not increase discharge to water (no change in impervious surface area). Added vehicles oil the site could
increase emissions to air. No production, storage or release of toxic or hazardous substances will occur its a result of the
proposal. Additional vehicles on the site may inerase potential noise.
Proposal measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Spaces for future electric charging stations for vehicles will beprovided with the net effect of reducing the emissions inipact.
Any increase in noise (lite to vehicles will be mitigated by solid perimeter vehicle barriers on the ripper floors of the
structure.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
There will be no impact to plants, animals, fish or marine life.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Not applicable.

All light fixtures will be high -efficiency fixture, either LED or linear fluorescent. Photo voltaic sensors for on/off control
will be provided.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or
under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered
