Cultural Resources/Historic Structures: S&W will complete this section using information <br />and analysis provided by others, as described under Task 1.10. S&W will work with the <br />team to define the Area of Potential Effects (APEs). <br />v. Floodplains and Floodways: The project is not located in a FEMA-mapped special flood <br />hazard area. No special studies will be needed. <br />vi. Hazardous and Problem Waste: See Task 1.05. <br />vii. Noise: A noise study is not expected to be needed. This will be confirmed with WSDOT <br />at the NEPA Kick-off Meeting. S&W will complete this section of the CatEx Form <br />accordingly. <br />viii.4(f)/6(f) Resources: S&W will complete this section assuming that no 4(f)/6(f) resources <br />are located within the project area. <br />ix. Agricultural Lands: S&W will complete this section assuming that no agricultural lands <br />are located within the project area. <br />x. Rivers, Streams or Tidal Water: S&W will complete this section based on based on <br />information from any prior studies in the area (to be provided by the City), a site visit, <br />and project information collected from Kimley-Horn and the City. <br />xi.Tribal Lands: S&W will complete this section; the project does not take place on any <br />Tribal lands. <br />xii. Water Quality/Stormwater: S&W will complete this section using information provided by <br />Kimley-Horn about the proposed stormwater management strategy for flow control and <br />water quality treatment. A stand-alone technical report is presumed not to be necessary. <br />xiii.Previous Environmental Commitments: S&W will complete this section with input from <br />the City. <br />xiv.Environmental Justice: Not applicable <br />xv. Biological Assessments (BA) and Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Evaluation: See Task <br />1.08.02. <br />Endangered Species Act Section 7 No Effect Letter <br />The project is assumed to result in a No Effect finding under Section 7 of the Endangered <br />Species Act (ESA). This No Effect determination is dependent on a project design that does not <br />result in a net gain of pollution-generating impervious surfaces (PGIS) and no change to or <br />added stormwater treatment. S&W will prepare a draft and final No Effect Letter to accompany <br />the NEPA CatEx. A BA will be required if PGIS is added or water quality treatment is added or <br />changed. A BA is not included and will require a written scope, schedule and/or budget <br />amendment. <br />SEPA Documentation <br />Environmental services are anticipated to include preparation and coordination of <br />documentation to satisfy SEPA requirements, consistent with project funding and agency <br />expectations. S&W will coordinate with the City, College, WSDOT Local Programs, and other <br />applicable agencies as needed to confirm the appropriate environmental documentation <br />pathway and level of review. When ~30% design is reached, the plans will be reviewed to <br />confirm the project does not qualify for a SEPA CatEx. The appropriate type of SEPA <br />documentation is assumed to be a SEPA Checklist based on the understanding of the project <br />and site characteristics at the time this scope was written. For purposes of this scope, S&W will <br />prepare a draft and final SEPA Environmental Checklist for City review and approval.
