Re: SEPA: Simvest Properties 6410 S 143rd ST (File No. E2000 -007)
Project Description:
This project involved the total clearing of all vegetation in an approximately 20,400 SF area of
this 64,000 SF parcel and the laying of 680 tons of quarry spalds over the cleared site. The
checklist, and the accompanying Shoreline application, were submitted after the applicants
received an RFA from Code Enforcement for already doing the clearing. Applicants state that
they don't intend to use the site for any particular use. Their intention was to "clean up" an
overgrown lot that was occasionally used as a dumping spot by tenants. and others. A landscape -
screening plan was included with the Shoreline submittal.

Summary of Primary Impacts:
Earth
The site is essentially flat. The end abutting S 143`d ST (south end) is paved and contains a 1
story metal shop building with an industrial /commercial tenant. The cleared end was covered
with thick underbrush and approximately 21 Cottonwood trees of various diameters. The soil is
designated "Urban" by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (former Soil Conservation
Service). The "Urban" designation is given for soils that are a mix of naturally occurring soils for
the site and fill material. Soils directly across the river and those in Fort Dent Park are Pilchuck
(fine silty loam) and Newburgh (silty). After removal of the vegetation and roots the site was
graded before the addition of the quarry spalds, apparently without the addition of fill. The
addition of quarry spalds did not create an impervious surface.
Air
Dust and vehicular emissions from the clearing was likely. The loss of these trees has reduced
the overall capacity of the regional tree mass to absorb carbon dioxide.
Water
The site is adjacent to the Green River Trail and the Green River. The work performed was 60'-
70' feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark. This area involved both the Low and High Impact
Environments. The width of the Low Impact Environments that were involved varied from 25'
on the east end of the site to 40' on the west end.

As the site is separated from the river by 60' -70', 12' of which is the pedestrian trail, storm water
runoff does not travel across the surface to the river.
Plants
It is unknown what possible diversity of flora were on the site. The predominant ground cover
was 21 Cottonwoods (listed on the checklist were #3 of a 12" -18 "diameter, #6 of 4" -8" and
#12 of 1 " -3 ") and low brush of unknown variety.
Animals
Daily visitors and inhabitants of the site were most assuredly songbirds, rodent/small ground
dwelling mammals, and small snakes. Herons, hawks, osprey, and Bald Eagles frequent the
overall river area and surrounding properties. The river is home to two threatened or endangered
fish species, the Chinook salmon and Bull Trout.
Energy and Natural Resources
N/A
Environmental Health
N/A
Land/Shoreline Uses
The site is zoned C/LI. The current use for the developed part of the site is conforming. The
surrounding properties are truck repair and storage. Provided issuance of both Land Altering and
Tree Permits clearing of the High Impact Environment section of the site is in keeping with
zoning and development regulations.
A band 60' -70' wide from the Ordinary High Water Mark is a trail use easement. Paralleling the
trail on either side is grass. The bank of the river is covered with a variety of low deciduous
shrubs and low trees.
Housing
N/A
Aesthetics
The removal of the entire wooded area has created a hole in the view corridor of the trail both up
and down river. Previous to the clearing the large truck storage and repair facilities on either side
of this parcel were blocked from view at numerous points along the trail by the intervening trees

of this property. The applicant is proposing a 20' wide screen of trees between the fence that
parallels the trail and the area of spalds on the lot.
Light and Glare
N/A
Recreation
The Green River Pedestrian/Biking Trail runs along the river on an easement from this property.
The work undertaken was completely on the landward side of a 6' woven wire security fence and
the trail easement. There will be no loss of recreation opportunities related to physical access,
only the loss of aesthetic quality (see Aesthetics above).
Historic and Cultural Preservation
There are no known historic or cultural sites on this parcel.
Transportation
There are no known transportation impacts at this time.
Public Services
N/A
Utilities
The portion of the site with a structure has electric, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone
and sanitary sewer service. These will not be effected by the clearing nor is there likely to be an
increased demand on these services until there is a proposal for development.
Recommendation
Determination of Nonsignificance. Mitigation of impacts will be addressed by the requirements
of the Shoreline Permit, L2000 -017.
