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. A. Background 1.

General description of the site: SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 4 of 16 21453.002-SEPA Checklist.docx (circle one): Flat , rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____________ b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? 5.0(±) 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. Loamy Sand. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. No surface indicators of soil instability have been visually identified, and to the best of our knowledge, no history of soil instability exists. 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. The project proposes to disturb 2,300 square feet of impervious surface for the sole purpose of installing fuel tanks in place of older tanks and associated utilities. A preliminary analysis of cut/fill activity based on the Site Plan indicates the project will anticipate approximately 1,000 cubic yards of total earthwork. Most of the cut material will likely be hauled off site, but depending on existing soil conditions, the cut may be able to be re-compacted on site. The grading is proposed to match existing grading characteristics. Grading activity will utilize on-site material whenever possible, in an effort to minimize fill. All imported fill will be sourced from the approved sites and documented accordingly. Excavations will occur to replace Underground Storage Tanks. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. There is a relatively low risk of erosion with consideration to the proposed Erosion Control Measures for the site. Catch basin protection, covering/seeding measures, and a designated construction entrance will likely be utilized on site to minimize erosion potential. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? The subject parcel will be approximately covered in 35 percent impervious surfaces upon project completion. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 5 of 16 21453.002-SEPA Checklist.docx Catch basin protection, covering/seeding measures, and a designated construction entrance will likely be utilized on site to minimize erosion potential. After the construction is completed, final slope stabilization measures, including ground cover, seeding, mulch, and other measures, will be used as necessary. 2. Air 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. During Construction: There will be construction equipment using gasoline or diesel fuels that will emit exhaust. These emissions will be temporary and will not have lasting or harmful effects on the project or adjacent properties. There may be airborne dust affecting air quality during grading activities, which will be controlled. Following Construction: Customer vehicles using gasoline or diesel fuels will commute to and from the car wash and will emit exhaust. No additional impact to the project area or surrounding properties is anticipated. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. There are no off-site sources of emissions or odor that will affect our proposal. c.
