MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (MDNS) – Issued April 10, 2024
# CONDITION RESPONSE
1 A good faith asbestos survey must be conducted on the existing structures by a
certified Asbestos Hazardous Emergency Response Act (AHERA) building inspector.
If asbestos is found during the survey, an ORCAA Asbestos Removal Notification must
be completed and all asbestos containing material must be properly removed prior to
the demolition; and, If the structure is 120 sq. ft. or greater, an ORCAA Demolition
Notification must be submitted regardless of the results of the asbestos survey. There
is a mandatory 14-day waiting period after ORCAA receives notification, so ORCAA
recommends the applicant complete the Demolition Notification promptly after
receiving the survey. These requirements are specific to ORCAA and are not
synonymous with any city or county permitting jurisdiction requirements
Condition met. All demolished structures were surveyed
and appropriately abated, and certifications provided to the
City.
2 In addition to any required asbestos abatement procedures, the applicant should
ensure that any other potentially dangerous or hazardous materials present, such as
PCB-containing lamp ballasts, fluorescent lamps, and wall thermostats containing
mercury, are removed prior to demolition. It is important that these materials and
wastes are removed and appropriately managed prior to demolition. It is equally
important that demolition debris is also safely managed, especially if it contains painted
wood or concrete, treated wood, or other possibly dangerous materials. Contact Rob
Rieck of Ecology’s Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program at (360) 407-
6751 for more information about safely handling dangerous wastes and demolition
debris.
Condition met. All potentially dangerous or hazardous
materials were appropriately managed prior to demolition.
3 All grading and filling of land must utilize only clean fill. All other materials may be
considered solid waste and permit approval may be required from Thurston County
Department of Health prior to filling. All removed debris resulting from this project must
be disposed of at an approved site. Contact the Thurston County Department of Health
or Department of Ecology for proper management of these materials.
Condition met. No fill or export materials have been
imported to or removed from the site.
4 If contamination is suspected, discovered, or occurs during the proposed SEPA action,
testing of the potentially contaminated media must be conducted. If contamination of
soil or groundwater is readily apparent, or is revealed by testing, Ecology must be
notified. Contact the Environmental Report Tracking System Coordinator for the
Southwest Regional Office (SWRO) at (360) 407 -6300. For assistance and
information about subsequent cleanup and to identify the type of testing that will be
required, contact Thomas Middleton with the SWRO, Toxics Cleanup Program at
360.999.9594.
Condition met. Not applicable.
