NOTICE OF MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE

Grant County issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (WAC Chapter 197-11) for the following project:

A Shoreline Substantial Development/Conditional Use application and SEPA Environmental Review from the Central Washington Fish Advisory Committee for the construction and placement of artificial reef habitat at three enhancement areas in the Potholes Reservoir in the Conservancy Environment designation. The subject proposal is located in portions of Section 5, 8, 33 and 34, Townships 17 and 18 N Range 28 E, WM. Grant County WA.

After a review of a completed Environmental Checklist and other information on file with the Planning Department (File # 05-4017), Grant County has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment, subject to the required mitigation.

Copies of the MDNS are available at no charge from the Grant County Planning Department, P.O. Box 37 (USBR Building, Rm. 26a. 32 C Street Northwest), Ephrata, WA 98823.
