The Town of St. John,
P.O. Box 298, St. John, Washington 99171,
is seeking coverage under the Washington State
Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit.
The proposed project, Park Avenue Reconstruction Phase II, is located along Park Avenue between Nob Hill Street and the southern City limits and between Park Avenue Bridge and Front Street in St. John, Whitman County, Washington.
This project involves approximately ±1.5 acres of soil disturbance for reconstructing the Park Avenue corridor that includes asphalt surfacing. Portions of existing sidewalk and associated curb and gutter will also be improved and/or replaced. Also new stormwater facilities will be added within the project limits. The existing railroad crossing will be upgraded and the signal light and drop pole adjacent to the northbound lane will also be relocated.
All stormwater that falls onto the project area will flow through stormwater filters installed in new/existing catch basins in and around the project and then discharge into the existing Town of St. John's stormwater facility.
Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II anti-degradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320.
