Dear Ms. Carlson:
APR 0 6 2001
y.Y$D
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the mitigated determination of nonsignificance
to construct four apartment buildings for a total of 44 units and to segregate the parcel from
the Safeway site through a binding site plan (Yelm Multi Family/SEPA No. 8275) located on
the east side of Vancil Road, south of the Safeway Store as proposed by Yelm Multifamily.
We reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following comments:
To be on the safe side, Ecology recommends soil sampling for pesticides used during the
property's agricultural history.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to this comment, please call Mr. Dave
Smith (Toxics Cleanup Program) at (360) 407-6250 or with any other questions regarding
this proposal I can be reached at (360) 407-6787.
