Dear Mr. Konovsky:
The Mitigated Determination of Non-significance dated May 1, 2009, regarding Yelm's
application to the Washington State Department of Ecology for additional water rights
(Ecology application numbers G2-29084, G2-29085, and G2-29086) is hereby
withdrawn by the City of Yelm.
This action has been taken after the Washington State Department of Ecology indicated
that it will not take action on Yelm's applications for additional water rights in 2009.
Withdrawal of the MDNS also provides additional time for the City to continue its work
alongside its watershed partners in refining the proposed water rights mitigation plan.
Because the MDNS is being withdrawn, the fee submitted along with your appeal will be
refunded and will be mailed under separate cover. You will be notified when the City re-
issues athreshold determination in this matter and appeals of this future determination
may be made pursuant to Chapter 43.21 C RCW.
