Instructions for Applicants
This Environmental Checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies
use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant,requiring preparation of
an Environmental Impact Statement(EIS). Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known,or
give the best description you can. DO NOT WRITE IN THE AREA THAT IS SPECIFIED FOR AGENCY USE
ONLY AND USE ONLY THE ENVIRONMETNAL CHECKLIST APPLICATION PROVIDED BY THURSTON
COUNTY.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully,to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,you should be able
to answer the questions from your own observations or proj ect plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not
know the answer,or if a question does not apply to your proposal,write "do not know" or"does not apply." Complete
answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations,such as zoning,shoreline,and landmark designations. Answer these
questions if you can. If you have problems,the governmental agencies can assist you.
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 a significant adverse impact.

Non-project proposals are those which are not tied to a specific site,such as adoption of plans,policies,or ordinances.
Because these questions are very general,it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of
the environment. When answering these questions,be aware of the extent the proposal,or the types of activities likely
to result from the proposal,would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not
implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.

4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated(or eligible or under study)for governmental protection;such as parks,
wilderness,wild and scenic rivers,threatened or endangered species habitat,historic or
cultural sites,wetlands,flood plains,or prime farmlands?
;The project will improve the overall stream flow with a new wider channel � /

Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
?The project will have a longer bridge span and remove mid-stream pier walls
:that will enhance stream flows and improve salmon habitat(L-4). A steep r
;slope will be stabilize to protect sedimentation of nearby stream (Prather pr�) s;
