SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST

Purpose of checklist:

Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.

Instructions for applicants:

This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decisionmaking process.

The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.

Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.

Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:

For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D) . Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements -that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

A. Background [HELP]

1. Name of proposed project: Peak Sand and Gravel , Inc. Plant# 4

2. Name of applicant: Peak Sand and Gravel, Inc.

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. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) Plant# 4 is a portable Aggregate Crushing Plant/Facility that will be set in pit/ quarry locations which are owned and operated by by others. We subcontract crushing operations to the source owners and produce the requested materials and quantites. Actual size of area required to set and operate in these sources is approx. 300 ft by 100 ft.

12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. Again , Plant# 4 is a portable Aggregate Crushing Plant/Facility that will be used to produce materials ordered by source owners who hire us to produce aggregate materials for them. We are currently negotiating with the owner of the Colville Quarry, located at 485 Spanish Prairie Rd. in Colville , WA; located in Stevens county.

f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project or proposal? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur and what percentage of the volume would be trucks (such as commercial and nonpassenger vehicles) . What data or transportation models were used to make these estimates? During the operation of the portable crushing plant, approx. 12 vehicle trips would occur each day. This would be the personal vehicles of the plant crew with 6 trips in the am prior to production starting and 6 in the evening after production ends. These would be actual trips anticipated during the portable operations.

g. Will the proposal interfere with, affect or be affected by the movement of agricultural and forest products on roads or streets in the area? If so, generally describe. No.

h. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any: No impacts to the transporation system in place is anticipated with this proposal.

a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection, police protection, public transit, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe. No.


b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any. No impacts to public services are anticipated as part of this proposal.

16. Utilities IllitlQ1

a. Circle utilities currently available at the site: electricity, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system , other ____ _

b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be needed. This is a portable crushing operation. Existing electrical service is anticipated to be utilized. On site water will be utilized as needed to provide water for dust control during operations. Refuse will be removed by plant crew personnel and disposed of in company refuse containers located at our shop facility, so onsite refuse service will not be utilized. Cellular phones will be used by plant employees so onsite telephone services will not be utilized. Portable on-site toilets will be utilized and will be provided and serviced by the local company providing this service for the operation, so existing septic system on site will not.
