East Gateway Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) — Yelm, WA
Determination of Significance and request for comments on the
Environmental Impact Statement Scope of Work
The City of Yelm has received a request to prepare a non-project (programmatic) EIS for
selected commercial properties located at the eastern City limit border. The EIS will assist in
identifying potential impacts and possible mitigation measures for the development of this
commercial area. The programmatic EIS will help guide the City and property owners in formal
development and implementation of mitigation measures. There is no application for
development on these properties at this time.
The commercial area is comprised of approximately forty-six (46) acres of undeveloped property
located in the eastern portion of the City's commercial district. The properties are situated
mostly along the State Route 507 Corridor, east of Yelm Creek.
The Yelm Community Development Department will be coordinating the preparation of the EIS.
This Determination of Significance and Scoping Notice summarizes possible development
potential of the properties, elements of the environment to be addressed, and opportunities and
methods for submitting comments. These opportunities will also be published in area
newspapers and posted on the City's website.

Preliminary Three build out alternatives will be analyzed for potential impacts for a 20
Alternatives: year planning horizon.

development (highest use and traffic potential.)
Alternative 2: Commercial properties developing as single parcel sites

Location: Properties included in this review are located on the north and south side of
SR 507, east of Creek Street and Yelm Creek, west and south of the
Walmart Way, in a portion of Section 29, Township 17 North, Range 2 East,

impact on the environment, and therefore requires preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to RCW 43.21C.033 and
WAC 197-11-360
Elements of Natural Environment— Runoff/absorption as the property is known to be
the impacted by high groundwater.

to be studied, and the area of impact to be studied.
