Ridgeline YHS turf replacementPre-Submission Notes
March 10, 2021
Yelm High School proposes to replace the football/soccer field at Ridgeline Middle School, and the Baseball/Softball Fields at Yelm High School with synthetic turf.
The property is zoned Institutional (ID). The schools and ball fields are existing permitted uses.
Process
The approval process from initial concept to final occupancy consists of two steps: Environmental review and civil plan review.
Environmental Review
A SEPA environmental Review is required if the project includes any landfill or excavation of 1,000 cubic yards or more.
All of Yelm is considered a critical aquifer recharge area. Protection measures for development within a critical aquifer recharge area are met through treating and disposing of stormwater
through an approved stormwater system.
Civil Plan Review
Civil plans are required for the construction of driveways, parking areas, stormwater treatment and public infrastructure. Civil plans must be provided to show compliance with the most
current Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Stormwater must be collected, treated, and infiltrated on the project site. The engineer preparing the civil plans will determine the required level of treatment and will prepare a storm
water plan for the City to review as part of the civil plan review process. The City has adopted the most recent version (2019) of the Washington State Department of Ecology Storm
Water Manual. (SWMMWW). Civil plans must show the existing system to meet these standards, or be upgraded.
All buildings and site improvements must meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
