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: 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: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. 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: 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 D). 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.

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)? Most of the site is level with some minor relief across the property of approximately 5 to10 percent slopes or less. 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 agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of these soils. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 4 of 16 20970.002-SEPA.docx Based on available mapping from the USDA Web Soil Survey, the site contains Urban Land (Ur) soils and does not have any known agricultural soils of long-term commercial significance. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. No surface indicators of soil instability are identified. The identified slopes appeared stable with no evidence of historical landslide activity or erosion. e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Based on a preliminary analysis, the project proposes approximately 3,802 square feet of total disturbance with a total new and replaced impervious surface coverage of 1,627 square feet. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Erosion is a possibility during construction activity, but under this proposal, erosion is primarily limited to grading, excavation, and fill activities. A Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) will be prepared and implemented throughout the construction phase, reducing the potential for erosion on site. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 79 percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces upon project completion. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Specific measures will be fully detailed in the TESCP created for the project and will incorporate a series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to reduce the probability of erosion and control the dissemination of airborne particulates and prevent sedimentation from being conveyed onto adjacent properties and rights-of-way. Examples of BMPs often utilized include surface watering to control dust, drainage channels, silt control fencing, and sediment control ponds. 2. Air [help] a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction, operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Airborne particulates (dust), along with vehicular exhaust from construction equipment, are the most likely short-term sources of emissions during construction activity. The primary source of long-term emissions will be from vehicular exhaust, as a byproduct of the operation for the car wash and fueling facility. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. Aside from vehicular exhaust originating with traffic on the adjacent rights-of-way, no off-site sources of emissions and/or odors have been identified. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 5 of 16 20970.002-SEPA.docx c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Airborne particulates will be minimized through surface watering during the construction phase of the project. Construction emissions will be further reduced through emission equipment in an effort to fully comply with Washington State emission standards. 3. Water [help] a.

SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 9 of 16 20970.002-SEPA.docx 2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indi- cate what hours noise would come from the site. Short-term noise associated with construction activity will be limited to construction traffic and equipment. The maximum noise levels should be expected to occur within the range between 57 and 89 dBA. These construction noise impacts will be limited by County Code to certain hours of the day (typically starting at 7:00 a.m. and ending in the early evening hours on weekdays). All construction activity associated with the project will be done in full compliance with City Code requirements. Long-term noise impacts are expected to be relatively minor and limited to traffic on site. Noise levels are not expected to exceed current ambient noise levels after project construction. 3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: Noise impacts associated with the construction phase of the project will be limited in duration. To mitigate general noise impacts during the construction phases, measures such as using and regularly maintaining efficient mufflers and quieting devices on all construction equipment and vehicles will be taken.
