Dear Ms. Merriman:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the mitigated determination ofnon-significance for the
proposed subdivision of acreage for family residential lots, located on Middle Road, between Railway
Road and 100`x' Way SE, as proposed by Yelm Property Development. We reviewed the environmental
checklist and have the following comments:
Water Ouality:
Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading, or construction. These control
measures must be effective to prevent soil from being carried into surface water by stormwater runoff.
Sand, silt, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered pollutants.
Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of Chapter
90.48, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201 A, Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the
State of Washington, and is subject to enforcement action.
During construction, all releases of oils, hydraulic fluids, fuels, other petroleum products, paints, solvents,
and other deleterious materials must be contained and removed in a manner that will prevent their
discharge to waters and soils of the state. The cleanup of spills should take precedence over other work
on the site.
Coverage under the General Baseline Stormwater Water Permit is required for construction sites greater
than five acres.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments, please call Ms. Margaret Hill
with the Water Quality Program at (360) 407-0246.
