3. Associated with the State and City Shoreline Master Program A. Finding: AIR AND WATER QUALITY Activities permitted along Everett's shoreline shall conduct their operations in accordance with existing regulations regarding air and water quality. Conclusions: Construction emissions would include particulate matter, nonmethane hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and oxide of nitrogen. Dredging of the inner and outer harbor would cause the greatest amount of emissions for all five pollutants. Construction emissions, however, would be temporary and short term in nature and would not significantly affect long-term air quality levels. EPA's Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations specifically exempt temporary increases of pollutant emissions during construction activities. Some odor impacts may result from exposure of East Waterway's organic dredge material. See information under findings associated with the Clean Water Act for water quality impacts associated with dredge, disposal and other aquatic activities. B. Findin&: SURFACE WATER RUNOFF All activities shall provide a means of reducing the polluting potential of surface water runoff, generated from impervious surfaces such as streets, parking lots and storage areas. Conclusion: New storm drain outfalls are not permitted into the East Waterway. All existing storm drain outfalls from the Navy Homeport property shall be removed from the East Waterway by 1992. All runoff water from the Navy Homeport shall be collected and processed at a pretreatment facility or with oil and grease separators, prior to release into Port Gardner Bay, including the area discharge into the drainage collection system in the East Waterway. The oil and grease separators shall be serviced on a regular basis to maintain proper operating efficiency. C. Finding: FUEL Activities involved in the handling and storage of fuel, chemicals, oil and other substances with the potential for spillage into adjacent waters, shall have operational procedures to handle potential spills or other accidents. Conclusion: The Navy Homeport has fuel handling and storage facilities that need a contingency plan to address impacts should a spill or other emergency occur. This contingency plan is discussed in detail in the NEPA Final EIS. D. Finding: BUILDING HEIGHTS Any building or structure within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark, in excess of 35 feet in height shall provide data showing that it will not obstruct the view of a substantial number of residences on the areas adjoining such shorelines. Conclusion: The applicant has indicated that although the barracks will be 135 feet tall, it is at least 400 feet from the ordinary high water mark. The bluff to the east is more than 95 feet tall and residents on top will be able to view over and around the structure without undue obstruction. -5-
