NOTICE OF A MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF

NONSIGNIFICANCE AND AN

ADMINISTRATIVE USE PERMIT

Whitman County Planning issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (M-DNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11 WAC) for the following project:

Shawnee Rock proposes to re-open an old rock quarry on Elberton Road. The quarry sits on a 17.5 acre parcel and the proposed quarried area is to be approximately ¼ acre. The 17.5 acre parcel is owned by Shawnee Rock and is in the Agricultural District, located approximately 2 miles west of Garfield on the south side of Elberton Road in Section 6, Township 17N, Range 45E, W.M., Whitman County, Washington.

After review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with us, the Planning Office has determined that this proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.

An administrative use permit is being issued by the County Planner for this operation. County code allows for an administrative review if waivers are obtained from any residences within 1,000 feet of the quarry. There is one house within 1,000 feet of the quarry and a waiver has been obtained from that landowner.

Copies of the M-DNS are available at no charge from the Planning Office, Whitman County Public Service Building (2nd Floor), N. 310 Main St., Colfax, WA 99111. The public is invited to submit written and signed environmentally focused comments on this M-DNS no later than 5:00 PM Thursday, March 29, 2018, to Alan L. Thomson, County Planner, P.O. Box 430, Colfax, WA 99111-0430.

WAC 197-11-970 Determination of Non-significance (DNS).

DETERMINATION

OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The proposal would rehabilitate and improve the existing sewer and water systems located in the Town of Rosalia boundary and established pipeline routes adjacent to the Town of Rosalia boundary (total area encompassing approximately 327 acres).

Wastewater improvements are split into three categories.

Category 1 improvements focus on the complete replacement of the existing pipe; while Category 2 would involve rehabilitation utilizing cured-in-place pipe (CIPP).

Category 3 improvements would replace the aged or undersized pipe, and potentially replace the pump associated with the lift station.

The majority of work is expected to take place within the existing roadways and Town of Rosalia right-of-way (approximately 326 acres).

A total of approximately 1.0 acres of sewer improvements would occur outside of the Town of Rosalia boundary along established pipeline alignments.

The proposed water system improvements would repair old and leaking water mains, service lines, and valves as the sewer lines are replaced.

Removing the lead components in the water system, constructing a new well source, and upgrading the water system control telemetry for pumps and reservoirs were also identified as needed improvements.

Other proposed water system improvements include the rehabilitation of the in-ground reservoir and construction of a second lower zone reservoir.

Also, the upper-zone booster pump station would be relocated to an above-ground building, and backup generators would be installed at the well and booster pump facility.

All of the proposed water system improvements would occur within the Town of Rosalia boundary (i.e.

an area encompassing 326 acres).

LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: The project is entirely contained within the Town of Rosalia limits in Sections 10, 11, 14, and 15, Township 20 North, Range 43 East, Whitman County, Washington.
