EVALUATION FOR <br />AGENCY USE ONLY <br />There are no noxious weeks or invasive species known to be on or near the site. <br />5. ANIMALS <br />a. List any birds and other animals which have been observed on or near the site <br />or are known to be on or near the site. Examples include: <br />birds: hawk, heron, eagle, songbirds, other: seagulls <br />mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other: rodents <br />fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other: <br />b. List any threatened and endangered species known to be on or near the site. <br />A query request of the Washington Department of Fisheries and Wildlife (WDFW) <br />database for threatened, endangered, and priority species and habitats was made on <br />February 24, 2016. WDFW did identify a priority habitat that included a bald eagle <br />nest about a half -mile to the north of the Providence Campus. The presence of this, <br />species should not impact development activities as proposed. <br />c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain. <br />Western Washington is part of the Pacific Flyway. However, due to the extensive <br />urban residential development patterns surrounding the site, it would most likely not <br />be utilized by any species other than those more tolerant of urban development <br />activities. <br />d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any: <br />The required 35-foot perimeter buffer provides habitat and shelter for foraging <br />animals. Some disturbance to this buffer will occur for utility placement, but would <br />be replaced. <br />e. List any invasive animal species known to be on or near the site. <br />Other than rodents, there are no known invasive animal species known to be on or <br />near the site. <br />6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES <br />a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used <br />to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used <br />for heating, manufacturing, etc. <br />Electricity would be used for lighting. <br />b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent <br />properties? If so, generally describe. <br />Environmental Checklist — Providence Regional Medical Center Everett — North Site Page 14 <br />© nmO u] <br />
