Dear Ms. Carlson:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the mitigated determination of nonsignificance for the
subdivision of 6.64 acres into 26 residential lots (Autumn Hills Preliminary Plat) located on the east side
of Vancil Road, south of the Yelm Avenue/Vancil Road intersection as proposed by Lubbesmeyer
Construction, Inc. We reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following comments:
SEPA Coordinator:
If this SEPA document does not address on- or off-site work related to infrastructure including utilities
and/or roads, the SEPA may need to be revised to reflect this information.
Water Quality
Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading, or construction. These control
measures must be effective to prevent soil from being carried into surface water by stormwater runoff.
Sand, silt, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered pollutants.
Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of Chapter
90.48, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the
Stag of Washington, and is subject to. enforcement action.
Proper disposal of construction debris must be on land in such a manner that debris cannot enter the
drainage ditch or cause water quality degradation of state waters.
During construction, all releases of oils, hydraulic fluids, fuels, other petroleum products, paints, solvents,
and other deleterious materials must be contained and removed in a manner that will prevent their
discharge to waters and soils of the state. The cleanup of spills should take precedence over other work
on the site.
Coverage under the General Baseline Stormwater Water Permit is required for construction sites greater
than five acres.
Water Resources:
The proponent is responsible for inspecting the site to determine the location of all existing wells. Any
unused wells must be properly abandoned and abandonment reports submitted to Ecology as described in
Ms. Catherine Carlson

WAC 173-160-415. This includes resource protection wells and any dewatering wells installed during
the construction phase of the project.
The Growth Management Act (Section 63) requires an applicant to submit evidence of an adequate water
supply before a building permit can be issued for any building requiring potable water.
The water purveyor is responsible for ensuring that the proposed use(s) are within the limitations of its
water rights.

II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site (circle one): flat, rolling, hilly, steep,
slopes, mountainous, other:
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope on the site is about 8 percent and is located at
the southwest corner of the project.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay,
sand, gravel, peat, muck)? if you know the classification of agricultural
soils, specify them and note any prime farmland.
The on-site soils are Spanaway gravelly sandy loam. The
agricultural classification is unknown.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate
vicinity? If so, describe.
Because of the mild terrain and soils classification of the site, no
indications or unstable soils were found on site.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or
grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
The proposal is to design the site to be self-balancing. Grading
plans prepared by a licensed professional engineer wi{I be
submitted to the City of Yelm for review and approval. We currently
estimate approximately 3,000 cubic yards of tota{ cut and fii{I
quantities.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so,
generally describe.
Yes. The area is covered with vegetation that includes mainly
young and mature trees, grasses, and shrubs. If vegetation is
cleared during wet weather, erosion could occur.
g. About what percent of the site wilt be covered with impervious surfaces
after project construction (for example, asphalt, or buildings}?
Approximately 43 percent of the site will be covered with
impervious surfaces once the entire project, 26 lots, is constructed.
4
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the
earth, if any:
As part of the grading plan, a temporary erosion and sedimentation
control plan will be prepared for approval by the City of Yelm.
Erosion control features will be installed prior to construction and
maintained until the threat of erosion ceases to exist.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e.,
dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and
when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give
approximate quantities if known.
The grading activities proposed at the site will cause dust
particulate to be emitted to the air. Vehicles and equipment used
during all phases of construction can be a potential source of
emissions. When the project is complete, the site may be the
source of vehicle emissions from vehicles using the site. However,
quantities are unknown.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your
proposal? If so, generally describe.
Vehicles using Vancil Road located along the east property line
and surrounding street systems can be a source of emissions or
odor. However, it is not anticipated that these off-site vehicle
sources of emissions will impact this proposal. There are no other
known sources of odor or emissions in the vicinity.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to
air, if any:
Unwanted dust particulate can be controlled to a certain extent by
the application of water before and during grading activities. It is
assumed the construction vehicles used will be equipped with
factory-installed mufflers and spark arresters that would control
excessive emissions. There are no measures proposed to control
emissions as a result of vehicles using the site after construction.
3. WATER
a. Surface:
1. Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of
the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater,
5
lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names.
If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
No. However there is a drainage ditch to the north and east of
the project. This ditch is not adjacent to the project.
2. Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200
feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach
available plans for this work.
Yes. At its nearest point, the ditch is approximately 130 feet
from the northeast corner of the project. Street frontage
improvements of Vancil Road will begin at the northeast corner
of the project and occur within 200 feet of the ditch.
3. Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be
placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate
the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill
material and/or disposal site.
None.
4. Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions?
Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if
known.
No, the project does not include any surface water withdrawals
or diversions.
5. Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note
location on the site plan.
No, the site does not lie within the 100-year floodplain.
6. Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste material to
surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated
volume of discharge.
No, the proposal does not include discharges of waste
materials to any existing surface water.
b. Ground:
1. Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to
ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate
quantities, if known.
6
There will be no groundwater withdrawals. stormwater
discharge will be through infiltration, which will then discharge
to the groundwater.
~ 2. Describe the underlying aquifer with regard to quality and quantity,
y ° sensitivity, protection, recharge areas, etc.
,A i~"5
~\ The underlying aquifer quality and quantity are unknown. The
Thurston County Geodata Center lists the parcels as an area
with no groundwater concern and no elevated nitrates.
3. Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground
from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic
sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals
agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if
applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s)
is/are expected to serve.
No waste materials will be discharged into the ground. The
City of Yelm Sanitary Sewer System will serve the project.
c. Water Runoff (including stormwater):
1. Describe the source of runoff (including stormwater) and method of
collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where
will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so,
describe.
The primary source of runoff will be from stormwater. Minimal
water runoff is anticipated to occur as a result of landscape
watering and other maintenance activities. The proposed
project site includes a tightline conveyance system to a
proposed onsite stormwater infiltration system. All lots will be
tightlined to the conveyance system.
2. Will this project generate waste materials which, if not handled
properly, could enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally
describe.
Generally, a project of this type and size would provide areas
of landscaping as part of individual lots. If chemicals or
fertilizers that are used to maintain these areas are not handled
properly, it is possible they could enter infiltration facilities. To
our knowledge, there are no other known sources of
contaminants associated with this proposal.
7
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff
water impacts, if any:
All stormwater runoff generated from this project site will be
collected and disposed in the proposed onsite infiltration system.
4. PLANTS
a. Check or circle type of vegetation found on the site:
x deciduous tree: alder, maple, aspen, other
x evergreen tree: fir, cedar, pine, other
x shrubs
x rq ass
x ap sture
_ crop or grain
_ wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bulrush, skunk cabbage, other:
_ water plants: water lily, eelgrass, milfoil, other:
_ other types of vegetation: blackberries, ferns
b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered?
All vegetation will be removed during the grading process.
c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site.
To our knowledge, there are no threatened or endangered plant
species on or near the site.
d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to
preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any:
There is no proposed landscaping amenity associated with this
project other than what is required by the City of Yelm.
5. ANIMALS
a. Circle any birds and animals, which have been observed on or near the
site or are known to be on or near the site:
birds: hawk, heron, eagle, songbirds, other:
mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other:
fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other:
b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the
site.
There are no threatened or endangered animal species known to
s
~~

d.
~C
-I'~'
exist on or near the site.
Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain.
The site is located within the boundaries of the western flyway.
However, migrating bird populations have not been known to visit
the site.
Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife. if any:
Those trees that can be saved will be. While all other vegetation
will be removed, the addition of landscaping on individual lots
would provide vegetation for forage and habitat purposes for the
bird population.
6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be
used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it
will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc.
The primary energy source required to meet the energy needs of
the proposed plat is electricity. Sufficient amounts of which would
be used to maintain a comfortable lifestyle and environment.
b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent
properties? If so, generally describe.
No, it is not anticipated this project will affect the potential for
adjacent properties to use solar energy. The building heights will
not exceed that which is required in the R-4 zone.
c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of
this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy
impacts, if any:
The homes will be built to meet or exceed current building and
energy codes.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic
chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste that could
occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe.
Typically, a residential development is not a source of
environmental health hazards. However, the risk of fire is always
9
present within a residential development.
1. Describe special emergency services that might be required (for
example, chemical spills or explosions).
While not anticipated to occur, the services of the local
emergency service providers may be required at some time.
2. Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health
hazards, if any:
None are proposed.
b. Noise
1. What types of noise exist in the area, which may affect your project
(for example: traffic, construction or production equipment, other)?
Traffic noise is present on Vancil Road; however, it is not
anticipated that the noise will adversely impact the proposed
project.
2. What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated
with the project on a short-term or long-term basis (for example:
traffic, construction or production equipment, other)? Indicate what
hour's noise would come from the site.
During the short-term, construction activity at the project site
will vary considerably as the construction progresses. Also,
because the noise produced on the site depends on the
equipment being used, the noise would vary from day to day.
Maximum construction noise levels can be expected to range
from 65 to 89 dBA with an average value of approximately 85
dBA. Minimum noise levels can be expected to have a wider
range of 57 to 88 dBA with an average value of 78 dBA (based
on a construction activity noise model, described in Noise
from Construction Equipment and Operations, Building
Equipment, and Home Appliances). Noise associated with
construction operations on the site will occur roughly between
the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Long-term noise impacts will result from vehicles using the
site and noises typical to asingle-family residential plat.
3. Proposed measure to reduce or control noise impacts, if any:
Noise impacts associated with the construction phases of the
project will be limited in duration. To mitigate general noise
10
impacts during the grading phase, measures such as using
and regularly maintaining efficient mufflers and quieting
devices on all construction equipment and vehicles can be
anticipated. No measures to mitigate noise impacts during the
building phase are proposed. Construction hours will be
limited to the normal workday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE
a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties?
G~
~~,~,~~ ,•,~,~ The site is currently occupied by asingle-family residential house.
(~~/ ~.~; `~S4° Second growth timber is present on the easterly portion of the site.

It is anticipated that there will be 26 single-family dwellings at
completion that would be in the middle-income range.
b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate
whether high, middle, or low-income housing.
One residence will be demolished to allow for construction of the
26 single-family residences. However, the residence is vacant at
this time.
( c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any:
There are no measures proposed to control housing impacts. The
proposed plat will, in fact, create housing to benefit potential
homebuyers in the Thurston County area.
10. AESTHETICS
a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including
12
antennas or chimneys; what is the principal exterior building material(s)
proposed?
The tallest structure will be approximately 30 feet with wood
exterior,
b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
The vicinity of Vancil Road is not considered a prime view corridor,
and therefore, should not compromise the views from adjacent
properties. The view of the site, of course, will be altered to that of
asingle-family housing development.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any:
The proposed plat will include architecturally compatible homes by
a single builder. The interior roads will be built to City of Yelm road
standards.
11. LIGHT AND GLARE
a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day
would it mainly occur?
Light and glare will result from reflective surfaces, exterior building
lights, and streetlights. Interior lighting may be noticeable. T he
occurrence of light impacts would be anticipated from dusk to
dawn. Glare impacts are associated primarily with sunny days,
something we don't have an abundance of in this region.
b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard, interfere
with views, or affect wildlife?
v
It is highly unlikely that glare or light from the project site will
interfere with views or affect wildlife. Streetlights and other
outdoor lighting are intended to promote safety rather than create a
safety hazard.
c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal?
There are no known off-site sources of light or glare that are
anticipated to affect this proposal.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any:
The exterior building lights and streetlights will be of low intensity,
13
typically used for safety and security purposes.
12. RECREATION
a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the
immediate vicinity?
None.
b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If
so, describe.
No, the project will not displace any recreational opportunities.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including
F~ ` . ~ ' ~ ~ ~ . recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or application, if
~' any:
The project proposes 14,940 square feet of open space for
enjoyment by future residents.
13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, proposed for, or eligible for
listing in national, state, or local preservation registers known to be on or
next to the site? If so, generally describe.
No, there are no known sites in the vicinity eligible for or listed in
any jurisdictional historic register.
b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic,
archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or next
to the site.
Does not apply.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any:
There are no measures proposed to reduce or control impacts.
However, if objects are unearthed during site work that may be
culturally significant, the Washington State Office of Archaeology
and Historic Preservation will be notified.
14. TRANSPORTATION
a. Identify sidewalks, trails, public streets and highways serving the site,
and describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on
14
site plans, if any:
The access to the parcel is from Vancil Road, which is a composite
type road.
~~~,
Q ~ See Appendix Site Plan for proposed ingress and egress location,
~~,! ~ and Vicinity Map.
~~ 1 v „~~,~~'
// V t ~, b. Is site currently served by public transit? By what means? If not, what
~~ ~ plans exist for transit service?
~ ~ No, the site is not directly served by public transit. There are no
known plans for public transit.
c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How
many would the project eliminate?
The completed project will provide two driveway parking spaces
per lot. It is anticipated that street parking will be permitted as well.
No parking spaces will be eliminated.
d. Will the proposal require any new sidewalks, trails, roads or streets, or
improvements to existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so,
generally describe (indicate whether public or private).
Yes, interior public roads and sidewalk will be constructed. It is
anticipated that road improvements including a sidewalk will be
required along the Vancil Road frontage.
e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or
air transportation? If so, generally describe.
No.
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed
project? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur.
According to the traffic assessment prepared by Heath &
Associates, Inc., this project would generate 249 trips per day. The
peak volumes are expected to occur during PM hours.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
In addition to the entrance and interior roads for the project, a
Transportation Facility Charge of $750 per pm peak trip will be paid
to the City of Yelm at the time of building permit issuance.
1~
See Appendix for Site Plan.
15. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for
example: fire protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If
so, generally describe.
Yes. Whenever a residential development is constructed, the need
for public services, such as police and fire protection, increases.
Yelm School District, Yelm Police Department, and Yelm Fire
District serve the site.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public
services, if any:
Impacts will be controlled by the increase in tax base and tax
assessments paid to the public services as well as impact fees.
16. UTILITIES
a. Circle utilities currently available at the site: Electricity, natural gas,
water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, gas,
other.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing
the service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the
immediate vicinity, which might be needed.
The proposed plat will use the following utilities:
;--- Electricity:
Water: City of Yelm
