This Project was included in the Port's Marine Terminals Master Plan (2008), for which a Determination of Non-Significance was issued following a non-project action SEPA review. No other environmental information has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. The Project site is located near and within the Weyerhaeuser Mill A Former Site formal MTCA cleanup site on which the Port is working under an Agreed Order for Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study and Draft Cleanup Action Plan with the Washington Department of Ecology(No. DE 8979). There are no other applications pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting this property. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. The following permits have been identified for this proposal: • City of Everett—Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Exemption Issued February 23, 2015 (only a portion of Phase 1 work is within the Shoreline Overlay District) • WA Department of Ecology–NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. The Port is proposing rail upgrades to maintain an existing rail corridor at the Port's marine terminal located adjacent to Port Gardner Bay in Everett, Washington. The Project will span the Port's South, Pacific, and Hewitt terminals as shown in the site plan in Attachment 2. The Project is necessary to improve the functionality and safety of the South Terminal Rail Spur (Track 104), by rehabilitating sections of track and extending the spur 100 lineal feet to the north. This allows Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway easier ingress and egress to the Port of Everett's Marine Terminals. The improved siding track will be used primarily for storage of rail cars in order to not impede mainline rail movement. This allows for increasing the on-site storage from 46 cars to a total of 106 cars upon completion. This would provide the on-terminal rail storage capacity necessary to support enhanced rail operations and reduce congestion and delays on the mainline. The Project will increase the efficient, safe and reliable rail service into the marine terminals. The Project will be implemented in two phases and includes work in the upland portion of the marine terminal, including: Phase 1: Rehabilitating approximately 1,100 linear feet (LF) of the existing South Terminal track(track T-104) and extending the track approximately 100 LF to the northwest. The 100- LF track extension will be installed within the footprint of a track that was previously removed by the Port in 2013 for marine terminal maintenance work. Installing approximately 1,000 LF of new track and removing approximately 400 LF of existing track at the Hewitt Terminal track (track T-115). The existing gate at the Hewitt Terminal entrance will also be relocated approximately 30 feet to the south to accommodate the rail Port of Everett–Marine Terminal Rail Upgrades SEPA Environmental Checklist(WAC 197-11-960) 5ddl. a Eage.aefr9"'
