SUBJECT: Request for amended environmental checklist regarding grading permit
(05-003223)
Dear Mr. Johnson;
I received a submittal of the revised grading plan (pg. 2 of 8) on September 14, 2005 and a letter
dated September 13, 2005 from Andrew Worlock from CLC Associates. Included with the
City's Mitigated Determination of Non -Significance (MDNS), issued on April 15, 2005, was the
Lead Agency Review form also dated April 15, 2005. Section B-1 (Environmental Elements -
Earth) of the Lead Agency Review Form noted in bold "as an advisory, if more than 500 cubic
yards of dirt will be moved on site, an additional detailed SEPA Checklist may be required or
additional information provided, to supplement the existing environmental checklist." The
information submitted in Mr. Worlock's letter dated September 13, 2005 indicates an excepted
total of 20,900 cubic yards of soil disturbance to occur. Pursuant to Section 11.10.070(5) of the
City's adopted Environmental Ordinance (No. 48) landfills and excavations in excess of 500
cubic yards shall require an Environmental Checklist.
As requested in a previous letter dated September 8, 2005 the City requires an amended
environmental checklist or supplemental letter be submitted only addressing the sections which
pertain to all grading of the site, which was not previously addressed in the environmental
checklist dated November 23, 2004. Upon receipt of the supplemental information the City will
incorporate as part of the previously submitted environmental checklist dated November 23,
2004 and determination issued April 15, 2005.
I look forward to receiving the requested information to continue review of the requested grading
permit. You may contact me if you have any questions or need additional information at (509)
688-0172 or kkendall@spokanevallev.org.

Attention: Karen Kendall HAND DELIVERED
RE: Watkins Addition Grading Permit - Project No: 05-003223
Dear Ms Kendall,
This letter is the supplemental letter you have requested per your letter of
September 14, 2005 regarding the above project.
The following is section B.1. of the environmental checklist pertaining to grading.
The responses have been updated to reflect the grading permit now under your
review:
1. Earth
a. 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)?
The site is reasonably level, the steepest slope on the property is
approximately 2 to 5 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 prime farmland.
The soil on the property is Springdale gravelly silt loam, 0 to 20 percent
slopes (SxB).
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate
vicinity? If so, describe.
No.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or
grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Minor grading will be necessary for installation of utilities and preparation
of the building lots for footings and foundations.

DENVER • PHOENIX • BALT LAKE CITY • SPOKANE
The total quantity of material disturbance for construction and installation
of the public sewer is 12,800 cubic yards (cy) and for water 6,400 cy. For
roads and drainage the quantity of disturbance is 1,700 cy. This yields a
grand total of 20,900 cy for construction of public facilities (including the
privately maintained Cimmaron Lane). The net cut/fill for the site is
anticipated to be 624 cubic yards. No fill will be required from offsite
sources. Any excess cut material will be distributed over the site or removed
by the contractor to an authorized landfill.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so,
generally describe.
Yes, erosion could occur as a result of clearing and grading but will be
minimal and contained on site.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces
after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
It is estimated that less than 25% of the site will be covered with impervious
surfaces, including roadway improvements (pavement and sidewalks) and
single-family residential structures.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the
earth, if any:
Construction and other grading activities will be conducted in accordance
with the City of Spokane Valley standards. An Erosion and Sediment control
plan will be prepared and implemented during construction.
We expect that the above information, together with the revised grading permit
and plans already in your possession will satisfy your request for additional
information. Please complete your review of the grading permit as quickly as
possible and without any further delay.
If you have any other questions regarding this project, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 458-6840.

Attention: Karen Kendall
RE: Watkins Addition Grading Permit - Project No: 05-003223
Dear Ms Kendall,
aod
°In 6T
We are in receipt of your letter of September 8, 2005 addressed to our client, Mr. Neil
Johnson. In your letter you ask for information regarding the grading permit application
recently submitted to the City of Spokane Valley Building Division and indicate that a
new or amended SEPA checklist may be needed. Mr. Johnson is one of the developers of
the Watkins Addition project and CLC Associates is the civil engineering and survey
firm who is providing design and final platting services for the project. The project was
approved by the Hearing Examiner on June 16th, 2005, file # REZ-15-04/SUB-10-04.
As you may or may not know, the reason we have applied for the grading permit is to
allow Mr. Johnson to install the public utilities (including public sewer, water, streets,
drainage, etc.) within the proposed development prior to the City accepting the streets
therein as public roadways. These public improvements, together with the grading
associated with their installation, are a prerequisite to the finalization of the
plat/dedication of roadways and were fully anticipated and identified as part of the
project reviewed under SEPA in April 2005. I have attached a copy of the MDNS,
together with the SEPA checklist for your reference.
As per your request, we have provided under separate cover a revised grading plan which
identifies an expected total of 20,900 cubic yards of"soil disturbance" to occur on the
site. Of that, there will be approximately 1,700 cubic yards of earthwork to establish the
finished grades for the street. The,remainder, approximately 19,200 cubic yards, is the
amount of soil that will be excavated and replaced for the installation of utilities (sewer
and water). Overall, this amount of grading is considered "minor" given the size of the
site (6.95 acres) and the length and depth of utility trenches which need to be excavated
for sewer, water and other utilities. For your information, the net cut/fill for the site
improvements, including public sewer, water streets and drainage is just 624 cubic yards.
Since the project is the same as that reviewed for the April 2005 SEPA MDNS and since
the SEPA rules at WAC 197-11-600(3) require the City to use the existing SEPA
documentation unchanged in such instances, we do not believe in this case that it is
12730 EAST MIRABEAU PARKWAY • SUITE 100 • SPOKANE VALLEY • WA 99216 • P 509 4513 6134D • F 509 450 6844
DENVER • PHOENIX • SALT LAKE CITY • SPOKANE
necessary or appropriate to provide an amended Environmental Checklist as your letter
suggests.
With respect to your reference to 500 cubic yards of soil being disturbed, we understand
that under the Spokane Environmental Ordinance, landfills or excavations of greater than
500 cubic yards may be considered a "proposal" for which the lead agency must issue a
threshold determination. Conversely those projects under 500 cubic yards are
"categorically exempt" from any further environmental review. In this context, the
importance of 500 cubic yards is simply for the responsible official to determine whether
the project is categorically exempt or not, and consequently whether to conduct further
environmental review or not.
For the Watkins Addition project, it's really a moot point. The project is not categorically
exempt but has already undergone a complete and thorough environmental review. This
occurred early on in the project review process because the project involved among other
things a rezone and preliminary plat. Consequently, the decision now is not whether a
"new" or "amended" SEPA review is required but whether the action now contemplated
for permitting (ie the installation of utilities) is the same as and was already addressed as
part of the overall project.
We are confident that after reviewing the prior SEPA checklist and April 15, 2005
MDNS conditions in which two of the three measures directly address grading and site
construction activities (through an erosion and sediment control plan) you must find the
existing SEPA review to be sufficient for the utility construction and associated grading
now proposed. It would be hard to imagine, under any circumstance, what additional
measures or requirements the City would impose on this basically flat, valley floor site.
Given the above, you should now have sufficient information to complete your review of
the grading permit and we would respectfully request that you do so as quickly as
possible and without any further delay.
If you have any other questions regarding this project, please do not hesitate to contact
me at 458-6840.
Thank you,
CLQ Associates.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
NOV 242004
Purpose of Checklist: SPOKANE VALLEY
DEPARTMENT OF
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
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 from the proposal, if it can be
done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
Instructions for Applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information
about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine
whether the environmental impacts of your 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 answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your
knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from
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 known 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 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.
