Expanded Environmental Checklist <br /> Prepared for the City of Everett, Washington <br /> Proposal: Comnunity Transit Operating Base <br /> Page 7 <br /> A sizeable oil and water separator is a part of the site storm drainage <br /> system and inlets to the system are to be located near all kncwn points <br /> where flamnable liquids will be handled. This design makes dual use of <br /> the storm drai�age system for control of storm water runoff and retention <br /> oi` "spillage." <br /> No unusual risks are anticipated. , <br /> (13) Transporta�ion/Circ�lation. <br /> (This section attached) • <br /> (15) Ener9y. <br /> The operation of a transit f acility involves the consumN*ion of substan- <br /> tial anounts of fuel. The following cortments apply T,o the development of <br /> the Cortmunity Transit site: <br /> a. The location of this proposed development is more centrally located to <br /> the Community Transit service area than is the present facility. Some <br /> systArt��ide �'uel savinas will be realized frum the selection of this <br /> site. <br /> b. Some regionwide savings in fuel consumption can be realized f�om the <br /> successful operation of the Comnunity Transit system. As noted in the <br /> Air Qualitv section, a larger number of bus riders means fewer cars on <br /> e� r��`An efficient and well used transit system will reduce the <br /> ov�rall fuel consumption for the transit service area. <br /> c. The site plan pruposed for th: facility places the maii;tenance and <br /> ser��ice acLivities in the north central portion of the bus parking <br /> area. This arrangement will shorten the total amount of on-site bus <br /> movement and result in some fuel savings. <br /> cl. The administration and operations buildings wi;l be constructed to <br /> meet or exceed the present energy codes. In the open areas of the <br /> maintenance building unit heaters incorporating energy recovery devi- <br /> ces will be used to provide worker comfort and energy conservation. <br />
