Purpose of Checklist:
Environmental Checklist
L3- 0057
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.
Instuctions 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 determine if there may be significant adverse impact.

to the south. In the southwest corner, there is a
class 2 slope area.
b. What is the stcepest siope on the site (approximate percent siope)?
The site is relatively flat. The area that will be
used for parking has a 2% (approximate) slope. The
southwestern corner has a cut slope that will remain
as is.
c. What general types of soils are founL,n the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, poi:
muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any
prime farmland.
The site is urban land with gravelly sandy loams which
have not been used for agriculture purposes.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity?
If so, describe.
No.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
This site will be graded in order to prepare a
surface for paving. The general topography of the site
will remain intact in order to provide for drainage
which will take surface waters to a drainage
facilities in South 128th. The class 2 slope will be
left alone and vegetation, grass, shrubs and trees
will remain on the slope.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally
describe.
Yes, however minimal. Temporary erosion control plans
will be implemented as part of construction as
required by the City.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
73%
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Temporary erosion control measures will be implemented
as part of construction in order to prevent off -site
erosion and also control dust and mud on adjacent
streets.
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.
