PURSUANT to R.C.W 43.21C, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on October 30, 2018 the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District (LEAD AGENCY) did issue a mitigated determination of non-significance relative to the environmental impact of the following described proposal: The Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District (MLIRD) proposes to remove sediment in the Pelican Horn area of Moses Lake to improve water quality. The project area of Pelican Horn would be along the channel of the Columbia Basin Railroad dike. Dredging of the Pelican Horn Causeway Site would take place between December 1 and March 1 when the lake level of Moses Lake is at its lowest point of the year. The purpose of the project is to improve water quality within Moses Lake and maintain water movement between the upper and lower basins of Pelican Horn. A floating turbidity curtain would be installed downstream of the work site before any excavation would occur. The area of dredging would be approximately 270 sq. ft in area and would remove approximately 10 cu. yds of sediment. The sediment would be dredged using small-scale track equipped excavation equipment in order to remove the accumulated sediment. A tracked excavator would scoop the sediment from the lakebed and would load it in tracked dump trucks to be moved upland. The sediment would be transferred to over the road dump trucks and would be hauled to the Connelly Park disposal site. Excavation equipment and dump trucks would access the dredge site via the Columbia Basin Railroad right-of-way. The Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District (MLIRD) proposes to utilize the existing seasonal carp barrier at the project location in order to improve water quality within the upper basin of Pelican Horn. The carp barrier would be installed annually in March and removed in September. The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment subject to the stipulated mitigations under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules. The lead agency has determined that there are no probable significant adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated and has issued a Mitigated Determination on Non-significance. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public on request and may be reviewed at the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District, 1055 W. Broadway Ave., Moses Lake, WA, 98837 during normal business hours. Comments on this determination should be addressed to: Chris Overland, General Manager, Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District /SEPA Official, P.O. Box 98 Moses Lake, WA. 98837. Comments must be received by November 13, 2018 #10063/239276 Pub: October 30, 2018
