The CZM review is complete. Record your determination on the EA, Statutory Worksheet or HUD Form 4128. Yes: PROCEED to #2 2. Is the project located on tribal trust lands? Yes: Tribal Trust land is excluded from the state coastal zone. Proceed to #3. No: PROCEED to #4 3. Will the project impact the coastal zone beyond the excluded tribal trust land, for example through water runoff from increased impervious surfaces, or increased sediment loads in waterbodies? Yes: PROCEED to #4 No: The Coastal Zone Management review is complete. Document that your project will have no impact on coastal zones outside of the excluded tribal trust land. Record your determination on the Statutory Worksheet , Environmental Assessment form or HUD Form 4128. 4. Does the project include new construction or major rehabilitation of existing structures? Major rehabilitation means work that exceeds the categorical exclusion threshold at 24 CFR Part 58.35(a) and therefore requires a full Environmental Assessment. No: STOP here. The Costal Zone Management review is complete. Yes: PROCEED to #4 4. Does the project comply with the enforceable policies of the Coastal Zone Management Program?  Complete the attached “Certification of Consistency with Washington’s Coastal Zone Management Program,” and send it to the Department of Ecology (DOE) at the following address: Federal Consistency Coordinator, Shorelines & Environmental Assistance Program, Department of Ecology, P.O.

Applies in Washington State only.) 24 CFR Part 58 General requirements ESA Legislation HUD Regulations Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act mandates that actions that are authorized, funded, or carried out by Federal agencies do not jeopardize the continued existence of plants and animals that are listed or result in the adverse modification or destruction of designated critical habitat. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; particularly section 7) 24 CFR 58.5(e) 24 CFR 50.4(e) Purpose: The purpose of this checklist is to assist HUD and responsible entities meet their Endangered Species Act obligations. A determination of “no effect” to federally listed species and critical habitat fulfills HUD’s and the responsible entity’s obligation to ensure actions it authorizes, funds, or carries out do not jeopardize the continued existence of listed species or adversely modify designated critical habitat. “No effect” determinations do not require coordination with or approval from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or NOAA Fisheries. Definition: “No effect” – the appropriate determination when the proposed action, including its interrelated and interdependent actions, will not affect (i.e., influence or bring about any change) listed species or designated critical habitat either directly or indirectly. The following questions will help you determine if the proposed project will have an effect to federally listed species or designated critical habitat. The list of activities is not all-inclusive, but provides examples of typical types of projects that would meet a “no effect” determination. 1. Does the project consist solely of the following activities: purchasing existing buildings; completing interior renovations to existing structures; replacement or repairs to existing roofs (not including galvanized material unless it has been sealed or otherwise confined so that it will not leach into stormwater); replacing exterior paint or siding on existing buildings; adding sprinkler systems or repairing landscape, not including removing trees or shrubs? Yes: STOP here. The project will have No Effect on listed or proposed species, and designated or proposed critical habitat. Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or NOAA Fisheries is not required. Record your determination of no effect and maintain this documentation in your ERR. No: PROCEED to #2 [Includes interior renovations, and exterior masonry repair, and landscape repair not including trees plus some items under #2] 2. Does the project consist solely of the any of the following activities and not result in an increase of impervious surface, removal of trees, or removal of streamside vegetation: rehabilitation of an existing structure; reconstruction or repair to existing curbs, sidewalks or other concrete structures; repairs to existing parking lots (for example repairing pot holes or repainting lines – not expansions); purchasing or installing appliances? Yes: STOP here. The project will have No Effect on listed or proposed species, and designated or proposed critical habitat. Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or NOAA Fisheries is not required. Record your determination of no effect and maintain this documentation in your ERR. [Includes activities under #1 and rehabilitation of an existing structure, repair to pedestrian and ADA facilities, and repair/sealing of asphalt with no expansion, and replacement of appliances.] No: PROCEED to #3 6/27/18 | Page 23 of 58 HUD Region X Environmental Office – May 2006 FOR USE IN WASHINGTON STATE ONLY 3. If new construction, does construction occur on a previously developed parcel and meet all of the following criteria: does not add new impervious surfaces; does not remove trees or streamside/riparian vegetation; complies with all state and local building codes and stormwater regulations; infiltrates all stormwater or does not discharge stormwater to a salmonid-bearing stream or proposed/designated critical habitat. Yes: STOP here. The project will have No Effect on listed or proposed species, and designated or proposed critical habitat. Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or NOAA Fisheries is not required. Record your determination of no effect and maintain this documentation, including information about the stormwater discharge, in your ERR. No: PROCEED to #4 4. If new construction, does construction add new impervious surfaces to a previously developed parcel and meet all of the following criteria: does not remove trees or streamside/riparian vegetation; complies with all state and local building codes and stormwater regulations; discharges treated stormwater to non- salmonid-bearing stream within the same subbasin (discharge point must be a minimum of ¼ mile from salmonid bearing stream or proposed/designated critical habitat) or infiltrates all treated stormwater within the same subbasin. Yes: STOP here. The project will have No Effect on listed or proposed species, and designated or proposed critical habitat. Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or NOAA Fisheries is not required. Record your determination and maintain this documentation, including information about the stormwater discharge, in your ERR. No: PROCEED to #5 5. Would project effects, including those that extend beyond the project site (e.g., noise, air pollution, water quality, stormwater discharge, visual disturbance), overlap with identified federally listed or proposed species occurrences or designated or proposed critical habitat or potential habitat (e.g., roosting, feeding, nesting, spawning, rearing, overwintering sites, or migratory corridors) for listed species? For USFWS, please visit the following website to order a site-specific species list from the State Department of Wildlife and Fish: www.wdfw.wa.gov/hab/release. The process takes one to eight weeks and costs $40. For NOAA Fisheries, please visit this website to determine the location of listed species: www.streamnet.org (click “Interactive Mapper”) No: STOP here. The project will have No Effect on listed or proposed species, and designated or proposed critical habitat. Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or NOAA Fisheries is not required. Record your determination of no effect and maintain this documentation in your ERR. Yes: The project may affect listed or proposed species, or designated or proposed critical habitat. Consultation with the USFWS and/or NOAA Fisheries may be required. Working Toward Recovery: The Endangered Species Act requires that all federal agencies utilize their authorities to help conserve listed species. Therefore, as responsible entities, you are encouraged to minimize the effects of your actions on listed species, designated critical habitat and habitat identified in endangered species recovery plans. For your activities, you are especially encouraged to minimize your action’s contribution to water quality degradation from point and non-point discharges, and water quantity alteration due to increased impervious surfaces.

Potential species that could be affected by development in the area based on the USFWS IPaC list of mammals, birds, and fish include: North American Wolverine, Marbled Murrelet, Streaked Horned Lark, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and Bull Trout. However, the proposed maintenance and rehabilitation activities are anticipated to have no effect because:  Sites are previously disturbed developed sites,  No change in impervious area is proposed,  No ground disturbance (defined as one cubic foot of disturbed soil) is proposed,  Landscaping improvements would not remove trees or shrubs,  Sites do not contain critical habitats and are not located in proximity to streams or wetlands, and  Re-roofing would not include galvanized material unless it has been sealed or otherwise confined so that it will not leach into stormwater. 6/27/18 | Page 25 of 58 Explosive and Flammable Hazards (CEST and EA)  General requirements Legislation Regulation  HUD‐assisted projects must meet  Acceptable Separation Distance (ASD)  requirements to protect them from  explosive and flammable hazards.   N/A 24 CFR Part 51  Subpart C  Reference  https://www.hudexchange.info/environmental‐review/explosive‐and‐flammable‐facilities    1.

No ground disturbance as defined above is proposed. All sites have been reviewed previously for archaeological resources and none were found. 3. Consult with SHPO or THPO and any tribes or groups that may have an interest in the project to determine if the project is eligible for the National Historic Register.  You must define and consider the Area of Potential Effect (APE). The APE is the geographic area within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historic properties. The APE is influenced by the scale and nature of an undertaking. (36 CFR Part 800.16).  Determine if there are tribes or groups that have an interest in the historic aspects of the project and invite them to participate in the consultation. For ground disturbing activities, you must make a reasonable and good faith effort to identify Indian tribes that may have an interest. HUD’s website lists interested tribes by county: http://egis.hud.gov/tdat/Tribal.aspx. It is suggested that you go to the Tribal website or contact the SHPO to make sure contact information is current.  Consult the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), or if the project is on certain tribal lands, the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), with details of the project and project site and your determination if it is eligible for the National Historic Register. SHPO or THPO has 30 days from receipt of a well-documented request of review of your determination. We recommend sending the letter with a return receipt form to document the contact. If they do not respond within the timeframe, or provide a description of additional information needed, you may proceed with the next step of the process based on your finding or consult with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP).

All sites have been reviewed for archaeological resources in 2016, and Hillcrest in 2010, and no cultural resources were discovered. Cole Manor is less than 45 years old. Hillcrest Terrace was evaluated in 2010 and found to be not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in a Letter from DAHP dated December 9, 2010. A 2016 reconnaissance evaluation of the Evergreen Terrace Housing Complex did not identify any evidence that the property meets criteria for historical significance. DAHP provided a determination that the property is not eligible for the NRHP on August 4, 2016. DAHP’s WISAARD site continues to show it as not eligible (https://fortress.wa.gov/dahp/wisaardp3/). Per the 2016 Report, because Hillcrest and Evergreen Terrace have been determined not eligible for the NRHP, any alterations would not constitute an effect to historic properties (36 CFR 800.4 (2)(d)(1)). 6/27/18 | Page 39 of 58 Noise (CEST Level Reviews)    General requirements Legislation Regulation  HUD’s noise regulations protect  residential properties from  excessive noise exposure. HUD  encourages mitigation as  appropriate.  Noise Control Act of 1972    General Services Administration  Federal Management Circular 75‐ 2: “Compatible Land Uses at  Federal Airfields”  Title 24 CFR 51  Subpart B  References  https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/environmental‐review/noise‐abatement‐and‐ control    1.
