3. Effect on Powder Mill Gulch Stream The approval to the short subdivision fails to deal with Power Mill Gulch as a fishery resource. The runoff associated with tree cutting, vegetation removal, land clearing, uncompactable soil removal, compactible soil placement and compacting, filling and other pre construction and construction activities are not adequately addressed and constitute a probable significant adverse environmental Impact on the creek and any existing or potential fishery, violating both the environmental policies and Sub.Ord. Section 4.D.3,e. The collection and disposal of storm water runoff during or after construction is not dealt with. The Boeing Company, :'rout Unlimited, The Pilchuck Audubon Society and Stream Keepers are committed to enhancing and restoring Powder Mill Gulch Creek fishery. The approval does not deal In any way with the Impacts of the changes the development would make on Powder Mill Gulch Creek. There is a stong likelihood that the development will adversely Impact the fishery eotential of the creeK. The effects of this proposal on the creek must be made the subject of a fisheries study by a competent wetlands and fisheries biologist. 4. Conclusion The proposal will Involve substantial disturbance to vegetalon and soils because much of the surface soils are not compatable with construction and will have to be removed. This violates Sub.Ord. Section 5, C. 1. (EMC 18.24.040) and EMC 20.04.060 A. 1. a. The Proposal will require changes to the topographical nature of the existing property In violation of Sub.Ord. Sections 5, C. 1, 3, 9.b, 14.A, 9.b, (EMC 18.24.040, 060, 110 A,.120 b., .170 ) EMC 16.56.120 and EMC 20.04.060. The proposal will allow development rn steep slopes where there may be imminent danger of landslides In violation of EMC 20,04.060 A 1 c. The proposal will involve substantial diversion and create altered methods of runoff in violation of Sub. Ord. Section 5.C.9.b. (EMC 18.24.120 B) and EMC 20.04.060 A. 3. a. The proposal shows no minimization of degredatalon of water sedimentation or of enhancement of the suitability of water for fishing and thus violates EMC 20.04.060 a. 3. b. The proposal involves substantial adverse effects on and alteration of ground water location and flow patterns and thus violates Sub.Orc. Section 5. C. 1, 9.b (EMC 18.24.040,.120 B) and EMC 20.04.,060 A 3 c. The proposal Involves multiple violations of the Subdivision Ordinance (EMC 18.24) and probable significant adverse environmental Impacts which have not be dealt with through the mitigation measures required and therefore the approval should be reversed and the plat approval denied. We reserve the right to amend this letter of appeal. 5
