20180242 MDNS Yelm Auto RecycleSEPA #: 20180242 MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE Proponent: NPR Holdings, LLC Description of Proposal: Yelm Auto Recycling Location of the Proposal: 939 Northern Pacific Road, Yelm, WA Section/Township/Range: Section 19, Township 17 North Range 2 East, W.M. Threshold Determination: The City of Yelm as lead agency for this action has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Therefore, an environmental impact statement (EIS) will not be required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public on request. Mitigating Measures: See Attachment A Lead agency: City of Yelm Responsible Official: Grant Beck, Community Development Director Date of Issue: August 3, 2018 Comment Deadline: August 20, 2018 Appeal Deadline: There is no local administrative appeal of a MDNS Grant Beck, Community Development Director This Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) is issued pursuant to Washington Administrative Code 197-11-340 (2). Comments must be submitted to Grant Beck, Community Development Department, at City of Yelm, 105 Yelm Avenue West, Yelm, WA 98597, by August 20, 2018, at 5:00 P.M. The City of Yelm will not act on this proposal prior August 20, 2018 at 5:00 P.M. ------------------------------------------------------ DO NOT PUBLISH BELOW THIS LINE Published: Nisqually Valley News, Friday, August 10, 2018 Posted in public areas: Friday, August 3, 2018 Copies to: All agencies/citizens on SEPA mailing list Dept. of Ecology w/checklist ATTACHMENT Project Number 20180242 Findings of Fact A. This Mitigated Determination of Non Significance is based on the project as proposed and the impacts and potential mitigation measures reflected in the Environmental Checklist submitted June 26, 2018, prepared by RB Engineering. B. The City of Yelm is identified as a Critical Aquifer Recharge Area, a designated environmentally sensitive area. Potential Impacts to groundwater quality and quantity will be mitigated through measures that meet or exceed the standards in the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, as published by the Washington State Department of Ecology. C. The Mazama Pocket Gopher has been listed as a threatened species by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife since at least 2008. Yelm has protected this species through the implementation of the Critical Areas Code. In April, 2014, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Yelm subspecies of the Mazama Pocket Gopher as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. While the City of Yelm is not responsible for implementation or enforcement of the Endangered Species Act, it consults with the Service and provides notice to applicants that the pocket gopher is a federally protected species and a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may be required. Soil suitability maps show that the site has a moderate to low occurrence of gophers, and a visual reconnaissance showed no evidence of gophers. D. The auto wrecking facility has the potential for oil, gas, diesel and other petroleum based fuel products to be stored and used. The applicant proposes to provide a spill kit. The Thurston County Nonpoint Source Pollution Ordinance (Article VI of the Sanitary Code) provides for protection of the county’s vulnerable water resources. It requires that hazardous waste, petroleum products, and hazardous materials be kept in containers and stored in such a manner and location that if the container is ruptured, the contents will not discharge, flow, be washed, or fall into surface water or ground water. Mitigation Measures 1. A final drainage report meeting the minimum requirements of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, as published by the Washington State Department of Ecology shall be submitted with civil plan submission. 2. A spill and containment plan approved by Thurston County is required. SEPA Environmental Checklist – 2014 Version Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization of compensatory mitigation measure will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: [help] This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or “does not apply” only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process. 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. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make and adequate threshold determination. Once the threshold determinate is made, the leas agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for non-project proposals: [help] For non-project proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON-PROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words” project,” “applicant,” and “property or site,” should be read as “proposal,” “proponent,” and “affected geographic area,” respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B – Environmental Elements – that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. BACKGROUND [help] 1.
