Long Shot Gun Range - SEPA Checklist SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 1 of 16 SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 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 or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: 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 an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT 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.

What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? 7.9% c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of these soils. Per the geotechnical report: Topsoil was generally encountered in the upper 12 inches of existing grades at the test pit locations. Deeper or shallower pockets of topsoil may be locally encountered across the site. The topsoil was characterized by a dark brown color, minor root intrusions, and trace organic matter. Vegetation roots generally extended to depths of 10 to 24 inches. Underlying topsoil, the native soil was classified primarily as medium dense well-graded and poorly graded gravel with sand (USCS: GW and GP, respectively). The moisture content at the time of exploration was characterized primarily as damp to moist. Native soil extended to the maximum exploration depth at each test pit location, which occurred between about 6.5 and 10 feet below the existing ground surface (bgs). The proposed indoor range building can be supported on conventional continuous and spread footing foundations bearing on competent native soil, recompacted native soil, or new structural fill placed and compacted on competent native soil. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. None identified or known e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. The expected earthwork for this project will be for clearing, grading, and structural fill. Total cut quantity is 2,276 cubic yards and the total fill is 4,578 cubic yards. Source of fill is to be determined. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Typical erosion expected with clearing, grading and construction activities will be mitigated by installation of erosion control measures per the City of Yelm requirements. The site will be stabilized at the completion of development, and it is not expected that the site use will cause any erosion once it is completed. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 35% SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 5 of 16 h.

Water runoff (including stormwater): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. The runoff will collected from sidewalks, pavement, and other pollutant generating impervious surfaces and conveyed to the on-line storm drainage ponds. The site’s runoff will be collected via sheet flow to curb and gutter then into catch basins on-site. Once in the catch basins, the drainage then flows down to a wet pond where it is treated then is routed to an infiltration pond where it is infiltrated into the existing soils. The site currently drains from the west of the property to the center of the east property line. The existing drainage patterns will be maintained. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. It is not expected that waste materials could enter the ground or surface water from our site. 3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If so, describe. The proposed site improvements are expected to maintain any drainage patterns that will occur downstream of the site. The storm drainage will infiltrate 100% of the runoff collected on-site. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 7 of 16 d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage pattern impacts, if any: The project will be paved and stabilized via permanent seeding/ plantings where any exposed subgrade might be.
