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.

If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any agricultural land of
long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of these
soils.
According to the USDA Web Soil Survey of Mason County, WA, the soil of the subject
property is identified as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 8 to 15% slopes. Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam is described as moderately well drained, found on hills or ridges,
and is formed from glacial drift and/or glacial outwash over dense glaciomarine deposits.
A typical soil profile consists of gravelly sandy loam from 0 to 7-inches and very gravelly
sandy loam from 7 to 59-inches below ground surface (BGS).
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
None known or observed.
e. Describe the purpose,type,total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any
filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Proposed project requires minimal amount of cut, and spoils will be deposited on-site. A
proposed 150-ft AGL (160-ft AGL with appurtenances) monopole communication tower,
within a 100-ft x 100-ft fenced tower compound and an associated 20-ft x 12-ft gravel
turnaround area. The compound will be accessed by a proposed approximately 15-ft x
-435-ft access & utility easement. These areas are herein referred to as the direct area of
potential effect(APE) and total approximately-16,765-ft' (0.38-acres).
Weed-free gravel will be brought in from a local landscape company or gravel supplier
(TBD).
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing,construction,or use? If so, generally describe.
Yes, but erosion will be controlled with proper best management practices (BMPs),
including but not limited to silt fencing and straw wattles.
SEPA Environmental checklist(WAC 197-11-960)(MC version-non project portion omitted): 2016 Page 3 of 14

murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus), streaked horned lark (Eremophila alpestris
strigata), and yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus); and one (1) federal candidate
terrestrial species: monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). Additionally, the list also
indicated the possible presence of one (1) federally threatened aquatic species: bull trout
(Salvelinus confluentus); however, due to the distance from aquatic resources, it is the
opinion of TEP that the proposed action will have no effect on the aforementioned
aquatic species. The site inspection performed on August 17, 2022 consisted of a
pedestrian inspection of the proposed action area and immediate vicinity for indications
of the presence of federally listed species and/or their critical habitats and
preferred/suitable habitats, as described by the USFWS. According to the USFWS —Trust
Resources List, there are no officially designated critical habitats on, or in the vicinity of
the action area.
TEP also utilized the Washington Natural Heritage Program's Element Occurrences
online map and determined that no (0) state-listed species occur within 1-mile of the
proposed action area. Further, TEP utilized the WA DFW's Priority Habitats and Species
web mapper and found no (0) occurrences for state-listed species within 0.5-miles of the
proposed project area.

Editha taylori); three (3)federally threatened terrestrial species: marbled murrelet
(Brachyramphus marmoratus), streaked horned lark (Eremophila alpestris strigata), and
yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus); and one (1) federal candidate terrestrial
species: monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). Additionally, the list also indicated the
possible presence of one (1) federally threatened aquatic species: bull trout(Salvelinus
confluentus); however, due to the distance from aquatic resources, it is the opinion of
TEP that the proposed action will have no effect on the aforementioned aquatic species.
