SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 1 of 17
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:
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.

along the Cedar River. The project includes the removal of existing synthetic turf
comprising the bocce court area. The gravel underlaying the bocce court area will be
lowered several inches and rubberized surfacing will be poured in place to bring the
rubberized surface level with the existing surrounding surface. A corn hole court, ping
pong table, pour-in-place checkerboard, and exercise equipment including a cardio
stepper, health hand beat cycler, balance steps, assisted row/push up, and stretch
equipment will be added to the new rubberized surface area. Additional proposed
improvements include the removal and replacement of existing shrubs, new concrete pads
for benches, and the replacement of existing benches.

b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope is approximately 1 percent.
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.
Paved surfaces and landscape beds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources
Conservation Service classifies all soil types within the site as “Urban Land.”
(Ref: Natural Resources Conservation Service. 2022. Web Soil Survey. King County Area,
Washington (WA633). U.S. Department of Agriculture. Accessed April 2022:
https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/WebSoilSurvey.aspx.)

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.
All fill materials used at the site will be clean and sourced from an approved off-site
location. Fill will include two new concrete pads for benches and poured-in-place
rubberized surfacing. Minor excavation will take place in the footprint of the concrete
pads. The existing synthetic turf will be removed and the gravel underlaying the bocce
court area will be lowered several inches. Rubberized surfacing will be poured in place to
bring the bocce court area level with the existing surrounding surface. Below are the
types of fill and areas proposed.
• Gravel concrete foundation – 34 square feet
• Concrete pads – 34 square feet
• Poured-in-place rubberized surfacing – 2562 square feet
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.

storm events. Erosion control best management practices (BMPs) will be used during
construction as indicated by the erosion control plan.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
The site is currently covered with approximately 80 percent impervious surfaces over
approximately 2,400 square feet. The project construction will result in an approximate
addition of 100 square feet of pavement, bringing the total to approximately 82 percent
impervious surface coverage.

pattern impacts, if any:
Please see WSP 2022 drainage report. No work will occur within the regulatory
floodway. The only work that will occur within the Federal Emergency Management
Agency Special Flood Hazard Area is the installation of two benches on concrete
pads. The concrete pads will be installed to match the existing grade and will not
reduce the storage volume within the floodplain. No compensatory storage will be
required.
