d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife,if any: <br /> Construction BMPs will be implemented during construction to avoid or minimize potential <br /> impacts to adjacent surface waters and associated wildlife. <br /> e. List any invasive animal species known to be on or near the site. <br /> No invasive animal species are known to be at or adjacent to the Project area. <br /> 6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES <br /> a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet <br /> the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, <br /> manufacturing, etc. <br /> Electric energy will be used to meet the completed Project's energy needs to power rail <br /> switches. <br /> b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If <br /> so, generally describe. <br /> The Project will have no effect on potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties. <br /> c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? <br /> List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts,if any: <br /> No energy conservation features are included in the Project. <br /> 7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br /> a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk <br /> of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste that could occur as a result of this <br /> proposal? If so, describe. <br /> There is the potential for oils and grease from construction equipment to enter surface waters <br /> in the event of a spill, but this potential would be minimized by operating all machinery on <br /> the uplands and implementing appropriate BMPs. After the rail upgrades are complete, the <br /> potential for spills would be eliminated as the overall use of the area would remain <br /> unchanged. <br /> 1) Describe any known or possible contamination at the site from present or past uses. <br /> The Project site is located near and within the Weyerhaeuser Mill A Former Site formal MTCA <br /> cleanup site on which the Port is working under an Agreed Order for Remedial <br /> Investigation/Feasibility Study and Draft Cleanup Action Plan with the Washington <br /> Department of Ecology (No. DE 8979). Subsurface contaminated material is known to occur <br /> in the general Project vicinity. However, exact location of contaminated material has not been <br /> determined. This material is believed to be located beneath a layer of clean sand beneath the <br /> base course and asphalt layer. Project excavation activity is expected to be relatively shallow <br /> (3 feet or less) and anticipated to remain within the base course and sand layer. However, it is <br /> possible that excavation may result in encountering contaminated material. Should this occur, <br /> the material will be handled per the BMPs established with Depaitment of Ecology under the <br /> Agreed Order. <br /> 2) Describe existing hazardous chemicals/conditions that might affect project <br /> Port of Everett—Marine Terminal Rail Upgrades <br /> SEPA Environmental Checklist(WAC 197-11-960) (i)i <br />
