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.

B. Environmental Elements [HELP]
1. Earth [help]
a. General description of the site:
(circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____________
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 4 of 16
b. 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. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
We will implement typical temporary erosion control measures including and not limited to a stabilized
construction entrance, silt fencing and inlet protection. If required, additional measures will be
implemented.
2. Air [help]
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction,
operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and
give approximate quantities if known.

c. 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.
