Availability of Environmental Documents

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Franklin County Planning and Building Department, determined to be the Lead Agency pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) of 1971, as amended, and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11, has issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) concerning the following proposed project:

Case File: SEPA 2012-02

Applicant: Bruce Reid

20 Ridgeview Drive

Pasco, WA 99301

Project/Location: The applicant is proposing a bank

stabilization project on residential

property zoned Rural Community 1

(RC-1). Severe river bank erosion

occurred with the recent high water on

the Columbia River in the spring of 2011.

It is proposed that materials eroded away

will be replaced with a mixture of river

rock and soils sourced from about 150

feet away, but outside of the 100-year

flood plain. All materials will be placed

above the ordinary high water mark of

the river as it currently flows, therefore,

no materials or equipment will enter the

water. All materials movement will be

performed with mechanized equipment

to ensure precise control of material

placement. A silt fence will be erected

during these activities to ensure that no

materials will unintentionally slide or roll

into the surface waters. Affected length

of shoreline is approximately 150 ft. An

access ramp will be located at one point.

Native river bank grasses will be

encouraged to grow on the restored bank.

The fill materials will be sourced from

the excavation of the foundation for a

one story out-building that is planned

for construction on the parcel in question,

but located outside of the 100-year flood

plain. The fill sourced from this location

consists of river rock and caliche

materials. Said property is located in

Section 13, Township 10 North, Range

28 East, W.M., Franklin County,

Washington - Parcel Number 126-220-

099. Also known as 20 Ridgeview Drive,

Pasco, WA 99301

Copies of the environmental documents, mitigation measures, building plans, site plans, and other materials pertinent to the proposed project are available for review in the Franklin County Planning and Building Department at 1016 North 4th Avenue, Pasco, WA 99301. Those wishing to have copies of said documents mailed to them will be charged a fee covering the costs of reproduction and mailing.
