Dear Ms.McAboy:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the determination of nonsignificance for the
Catron Rock Bulkhead Replacement Project(SEP2016-00077& SHX2016-00054) located at
701 East Cronquist Road in Allyn as proposed by Josette Catron. The Department of Ecology
(Ecology)reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s):
WATER QUALITY: Chris Montague-Breakwell (360)407-6364
The following construction activities require coverage under the Construction Stormwater
General Permit:
1. Clearing, grading and/or excavation that results in the disturbance of one or more
acres and discharges stormwater to surface waters of the State; and
2. Clearing, grading and/or excavation on sites smaller than one acre that are part of a
larger common plan of development or sale, if the common plan of development or
sale will ultimately disturb one acre or more and discharge stormwater to surface
waters of the State.
a) This includes forest practices(including,but not limited to,class W conversions)
that are part of a construction activity that will result in the disturbance of one or
more acres, and discharge to surface waters of the State; and
3. Any size construction activity discharging stormwater to waters of the State that
Ecology:
a) Determines to be a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the State of
Washington.
b) Reasonably expects to cause a violation of any water quality standard.

If there are known soil/ground water contaminants present on-site, additional information
(including,but not limited to:temporary erosion and sediment control plans; stormwater
pollution prevention plan; list of known contaminants with concentrations and depths found;
a site map depicting the sample location(s); and additional studies/reports regarding
contaminant(s))will be required to be submitted.
You may apply online or obtain an application from Ecology's website at:
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/-Application. Construction
site operators must apply for a permit at least 60 days prior to discharging stormwater from
construction activities and must submit it on or before the date of the first public notice.
Ecology's comments are based upon information provided by the lead agency. As such,they
may not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal
requirements that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments,please contact the
appropriate reviewing staff listed above.

Revised Introduction and New On-line Guidance RECEIVED
March 2012
AUG 10 2016
SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 615 W.Amer Sbwt
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: h� elAl
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 mU 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 decision-making 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:
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: hj elpl
Please complete 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. ADDITION,
complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For non project actions.

available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to
