DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE
(WAC 197-11-340)
SEP2019-00029
Description of This SEPA is associated with an application for a Class IV
Proposal: General FPA to log two parcels in the Allyn Urban
Growth Area totaling 7.02 acres in size.The parcel
slopes up to the west between 15 and 30%and is
mapped as Low Hazard by the DNR.A ditch on the south
side of the access road has been determined by an ID
Team to be non-jurisdictional runoff. Staff has
inspected the site and found no critical areas other than
some piliated woodpecker forage snags. A 4,250 sq.ft
triangle in the NW corner of the property will become a
habitat set aside area.The full extent of ground
disturbing activity(stumping and grading)is not yet
known but will have to meet state and county standards
before the FPA can be approved. No other critical area
issues.

Dear Michael MacSems:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the determination of nonsignificance for the
Batjack Holding LLC Class IV General FPA/Masterson Timber Harvest(SEP2019-00029)as
proposed by Batjack Holding LLC. The Department of Ecology(Ecology)reviewed the
environmental checklist and has the following comment(s):
WATER QUALITY/WATERSHED RESOURCES UNIT:
Chris Montague-Breakwell(360) 407-6364
Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading, or construction.
These control measures must be effective to prevent stormwater runoff from carrying soil
and other pollutants into surface water or stormdrains that lead to waters of the state. Sand,
silt, clay particles, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered to be pollutants.
Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in
violation of Chapter 90.48 RCW, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water
Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to
enforcement action.
Construction Stormwater General Permit:
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 IV 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/wg/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.

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 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:
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.
