Proper maintenance of the system includes dredging, removing vegetation, removing garbage and other minor work. The work helps to reduce urban flooding and improve pollution controls for the surface water system. Work will be supervised by the City's maintenance crews, planning staff, and the City's Urban Environmentalist. Best practices will be employed to reduce and eliminate impacts to the stream and wildlife. 12. Location of the proposal.

The project will improve the City's ability to adequately handle stormwater discharge. • Utilities Concur with checklist. Comments On May 24, 2013, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe emailed the City questions regarding the proposed project. On June 7, 2013, Ryan Larson and Brandon Miles had a phone conference with the Tribe to discuss the issues raised. Furthermore, on June 18, 2013, Brandon Miles provided a written response to the Tribe. The Tribe had indicated that it has no concerns with the proposed project, but would like to see the City work on a long term solution to sediment that does not require working within the streams. Recommendation: Determination of Non -Significance. The optional DNS process should be used. B.
