Applicant’s Signature Signature of owner or owner’s authorized representative SIGN SIGN ---PAGE BREAK--- May 2014 1 SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: [help] This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision- making process. 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 significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: [help] For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS [help] (IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions) 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.

Updated 1/2013 ENVIRONMENTAL & SALMONIDS CHECKLIST Page 20 of 24 ---PAGE BREAK--- ESA LISTED SALMONIDS CHECKLIST The Listed Salmonids Checklist is provided in order that the City can identify a project’s potential impacts (if any) on salmonids that have been listed as “threat ened” or “endangered” under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). A salmonid is any fish species that spends part of its life cycle in the ocean and returns to fresh water. Potential project impacts that may result in a “taking” of listed salmonids must be avoided, or mitigated to insignificant levels. Generally, under ESA, a “taking” is broadly defined as any action that causes the death of, or harm to, the listed species. Such actions include those that affect the environmental in ways that interfere with or reduce the level of reproduction of the species. If ESA listed species are present or ever were present in the watershed where your project will be located, your project has the potential for affecting them, and you need to comply with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if the ESA listing will impact your project. The Fish Program Manager at the appropriate Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) regional office can provide additional information. Please contact the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife at 1701 S. 24th, Yakima WA 98902-5720, Phone No. [PHONE REDACTED]. 1. Are ESA listed salmonids currently present in the watershed in which your project will be? Yes No___ Please Describe. 2. Has there ever been an ESA listed salmonid stock present in this watershed? Yes No___ Please Describe. NOTE: Kennewick is located in the upper Mid-Columbia watershed. Salmonids are present in the watershed - questions no. 1 and no. 2 already answered "yes". Questions A-1 and A-2 are also answered. PROJECT SPECIFIC: The questions in this section are specific to the project and vicinity. A1. Name of watershed: Upper Mid-Columbia A2. Name of nearest waterbody: Columbia River A3. What is the distance from this project to the nearest body of water? Often a buffer between the project and a stream can reduce the chance of a negative impact to fish. Updated 1/2013 ENVIRONMENTAL & SALMONIDS CHECKLIST Page 21 of 24 ---PAGE BREAK--- A4. What is the current land use between the project and the potentially affected water body (parking lots, farmland, etc.) A5. What percentage of the project will be impervious surface (including pavement & roof area)? FISH MIGRATION: The following questions will help determine if this project could interfere with migration of adult and juvenile fish. Both increases and decreases in water flows can affect fish migration. B1. Does the project require the withdrawal of a. Surface water? Yes No Amount Name of surface water body b. Ground water? Yes No Amount From Where Depth of well B2. Will any water be rerouted? Yes No If yes, will this require a channel change? B3. Will there be retention ponds? Yes No If yes, will this be an infiltration pond or a surface discharge to either a municipal storm water system or a surface water body? If to a surface water discharge, please give the name of the waterbody. B4. Will this project require the building of new roads? (Increased road mileage may affect the timing of water reaching a stream and may, thus, impact fish habitat.) B5. Are culverts proposed as part of this project? Yes No B6. Are stormwater drywells proposed as part of this project? Yes No Updated 1/2013 ENVIRONMENTAL & SALMONIDS CHECKLIST Page 22 of 24 ---PAGE BREAK--- B7. Will topography changes affect the duration/direction of runoff flows? Yes No If yes describe the changes. B8. Will the project involve any reduction of a floodway or floodplain by filling or other partial blockage of flows? Yes No If yes, how will the loss of flood storage be mitigated by your project? WATER QUALITY: The following questions will help determine if this project could adversely impact water quality. Degraded water quality can affect listed species. Water quality can be made worse by runoff from impervious surfaces, altering water temperature, discharging contaminants, etc. C1. Will your project either reduce or increase shade along or over a waterbody? Yes No (Removal of shading vegetation or the building of structures such as docks or floats often result in a change in shade.) C2. Will the project increase nutrient loading or have the potential to increase nutrient loading or contaminants (fertilizers, other waste discharges, or runoff) to the waterbody? Yes No C3. Will turbidity (dissolved or partially dissolved sediment load) be increased because of construction of the project or during operation of the project? (In-water or near water work will often increase turbidity.) Yes No C4. Will your project require long term maintenance, i.e., bridge cleaning, highway salting, chemical sprays for vegetation management, clearing of parking lots? Yes No Please Describe. Updated 1/2013 ENVIRONMENTAL & SALMONIDS CHECKLIST Page 23 of 24 ---PAGE BREAK--- Vegetation: The following questions are designed to determine if the project will affect riparian vegetation, which can impact listed species. D1. Will the project involve the removal of any vegetation from the stream banks? YES NO If yes, please describe the ex isting conditions and the amount and type of vegetation to be removed. D2. If any vegetation is removed, do you plan to re-plant? YES NO If yes, what types of plants will you use? E. SIGNATURE The above answers are true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
