WEYERHAEUSERSMITH ISLAND LANDFILL <br />CLOSURE IMPROVEMENTS AND NPDES OUTFALL 006 ELIAMTION <br />SEPA EIMRONKIENTAL CHECKLIST <br />requirements of wastewater pumping will be provided by electrical power, which is <br />supplied to the site by Snohomish County PUD. <br />b. Would your project of ect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, <br />generally describe. <br />No. <br />c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List <br />other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any: <br />Pumps and motors will be specified to meet energy efficiency measures specified in <br />applicable codes. <br />7. Environmental Health <br />a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of <br />fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of this proposal? <br />If so, describe. <br />There are no environmental health hazards posed by eliminating Outfal1005. At the <br />landfill, there are no environmental health hazards from fire, explosives, spills, or <br />hazardous waste. The waste contained within the landfill contains low levels of <br />dioxins/furans and metals that are below hazardous waste regulatory thresholds and are <br />suitable for land disposal. These wastes have been confirmed by Ecology to be subject to <br />.solid waste regulations. As an added measure of protection, the cover system will serve as a <br />barrier over the waste to provide protection of ecological receptors at the site. <br />1) Describe special emergency services that might be n quired. <br />Not applicable. <br />2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental hea"h hazards, if any: <br />The requirements of all applicable health and safety standards will be followed to <br />ensure the safely of all persons at the site. <br />b. Noise <br />1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: <br />traffic, equipment, operation, other)? <br />The predominant sources of ambient noise on the Smith Island site are truck traffic on <br />SR 529, trains on the Burlington Northern r<ilil line, and heavy tricks and grading <br />equipment operated at the Pacific Topsoil site and heavy equipment and trucks at the <br />log sort yard and at Miller Shingle. These noise sources would not affect the project. <br />2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on <br />a short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? <br />Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. <br />Construction activities associated with building the stormwater lift station and <br />implementing the landfill closure improvements will require the use of heavy <br />equipment including tricks and backhoes. These short-term activities will occur during <br />16 <br />
