It makes sense to the City to incorporate our site into the SEPA process <br /> being prepared for the County restoration project. Since the project is located within two jurisdictions, <br /> and each jurisdiction is a project sponsor,it appears that the WAC for determining SEPA lead agency <br /> status when each agency is a sponsor allows the determination to be made by agreement between the <br /> two jurisdictions. See WAC 197-11-926,below: <br /> WAC 197-11-926 Lead agency for governmental proposals. (1)When an agency initiates a <br /> proposal,it is the lead agency for that proposal.If two or more agencies share in the <br /> Implementation of a proposal.the agencies shall by agreement determine which agency will be the <br /> lead agency.For the purposes of this section,a proposal by an agency does not include proposals to <br /> license private activity. (emphasis added) <br /> This letter represents the City of Everett's agreement that Snohomish County Public Works Department <br /> should be the lead agency under SEPA for the Smith Island habitat restoration project which includes <br /> land owned by the City of Everett and within the City of Everett. <br /> Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this agreement. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Allan Giffen <br /> City of Everett SEPA Responsible Official <br /> Cc: Heather Griffin,City of Everett Public Works <br /> CITY OF EVERETT•2930 Wetmore Avenue,Suite 8-A•Everett,WA 98201•(425)257-8731 ■Fax(425)257-8742 <br /> INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR <br /> IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SMITH ISLAND RESTORATION PROJECT PAGE 35 <br />
