Fees will be collected at final plat based on a percentage of lots being final platted. Water Quality An NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology is required if there is a potential for stormwater discharge from a construction site with more than one acre of disturbed ground. This permit requires that the SEPA checklist fully disclose anticipated activities including building, road construction and utility placements. Obtaining a permit is a minimum 38 day process and may take up to 60 days if the original SEPA does not disclose proposed activities. The permit requires that Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Erosion Sediment Control Plan) is prepared and implemented for all permitted construction sites. These control measure must be able to prevent soil from being carried into surface water (this includes storm drains) by stormwater runoff. Permit coverage and erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading or construction. Submit an application or contact Bryan Neet at the Dept. of Ecology (509) 575-2808 with questions about this permit. 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 storm water runoff. Sand, silt, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered pollutants.

January 2,2012 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Ptu'pose of checklist: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts fi'om the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. In st r uction.s fo r app lic an t s : This environmental checklist asks you to desclibe some basic information about yout'proposal. Govet'nmentd agencies use this checklist to determine whethel the environmental impacts of youl proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must ans\ryer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questìons fi'om your own observations or project 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 ploposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on diffelent parcels of land. Attach any additional information that wilt help describe your ploposal 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 signitìcant adverse ìmpact. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTTONS (part For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "ploject," "applìcant," and "propefty or site" should be read as "proposal," "ploposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

The Listed Salmonids Checklist is provided in order that t he City can identif y 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 fres h 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 t hat causes the death of, or harm to, the listed species. Such actions incl ude those that affect t he environmental in ways that interfere with or reduce the level of reproduction of the species. lf 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. 509-57 5-27 40. 1. Are ESA listed salmonids currently present in the watershed in which your project will be? Yes X No_ Please Describe, 2. Has there ever been an ESA listed salmonid stock present in this watershed? Yes X No- Please Describe. NOTE: Kennewick is located in the upper Mid- Columbia watershed. Salmonoids 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. 1. Name of watershed: Upper Mid-Columbia 2. Name of nearest waterbody: Columbia River rA3. What is the distance from this project to the nearest body of water? 3.1 miles Often a buffer between the project and a stream can reduce the chance of a negative impact to fish.

What is the current land use between the project and the po tentially affected water body (parking lots, farmland, etc.) Residential, Commercial, and lndustrial Properties 45. What percentage of the pr oject will be impervious surface (including pavement & roof - area)? Approximately 48% FISH MIGRATION: The following questions will help determi ne if this project could interfere with migration of adult and juvenile fish. Both increases and decreases in water flows can affect fish migration. 81, 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 82, Will any water be rerouted? Yes No r' / lf yes, will this require a channel change? 83. Will there be retention ponds? Yes / No lf yes, will this be an infiltration pond or a sudace discharge to either a municipal storm water system or a surface water body? lnfiltration and detention pond with overflow to the natural drainage channel, i.e. the Amon Wasteway lf to a surface water discharge, please give the name of the waterbody. / S""ronul surface water, Amon Wasteway 84. Will this project require the building of new roads? (lncreased road mileage may affect the .z timing of water reaching a stream and may, thus, impact fish habitat.) Yes . Are culverts proposed as part of this project? Yes / No- 86. Are stormwater drywells proposed as part of this project? Yes / No Updated 7 12011 ENVIRONMENTAL & SALMONIDS CHECKLIST Page 1Bof20 EXHIBIT A-7 Page 17 of 19 ---PAGE BREAK--- 87, Will topography changes affect the duration/direction of runoff flows? Yes { No lf yes describe the changes. Grading will be performed on the property and roads and stormwater collection piping will be installed; these have the potential of changing the duration of the runoff flows. Runoff direction will generally be the same, i.e. toward the invert the main canyon in the Southridge Area. E . Will the project involve any reduction of a fl oodway or floodplain by filling or other partial blockage of flows? Yes_ No / lf 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 sudaces, 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 vegetatión or the building of structures such as docks or floats often result in a change in shade.) C2. Will the project increase nut rient loading or have the potentia I to increase nutrient loading ot 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 r construction of the project or during operation of the project? (ln-water or near water work will often increase turbidity,) Yes No { . Will your project require long term maint enance, i,e., bridge cleaning, highway salting, chemical sprays for vegetation management, clearing of parking lots? Yes / No_ Please Describe. - Of this list, the only potential item is the possible use of chemical sprays for maintenance of the small landscape areas at the entrance and center of traffic circles.
