Notice of Application and Issuance of SEPA Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance: September 12, 2024. Notice is hereby given that a SEPA Checklist was received by Grant County Development Services on August 12, 2024, from J.R. Simplot Company (Designated Contact: Ryan Crotty, 330 E Mill Plain Boulevard, Suite 405, Vancouver, WA, 98660) and was found to be Technically Complete on August 19, 2024. Grant County has issued a Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance (MDNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (WAC Chapter 197-11) for the following PROJECT: A SEPA checklist to allow the development of a Process Water Treatment Facility (PWTF), which would be constructed to directly support operations at a potato processing facility (the Rainier Facility) at 2107 Road O NE, Moses Lake, WA 98837. Included in this proposal is the installation of a 4- inch sanitary sewer force main connecting the Rainier Facility to an existing manhole at the Moses Lake Facility (located approximately one mile to the Northwest of the project site [14124 Wheeler Rd NE, Moses Lake, WA 98837]). This sewer line shall be installed in the event that the City of Moses Lake allows a connection to their municipal sewer system in the future. The purpose of the PWTF is to treat the process wastewater discharged from Simplot’s Moses Lake Facility and the Rainier Facility to a quality that allows either facility to reuse the PWTF effluent in the production process as agricultural industrial process water. Water not returned for reuse would be conveyed to an existing pond, referred to as the winter storage pond, where it would be stored until being applied to agricultural fields for land treatment administered under a joint State Waste Discharge Permit that covers the Rainier Facility and the existing Moses Lake Facility. The main components of the proposed PWTF process include screening, oil removal/collection and primary clarification, anaerobic treatment, biological treatment, nutrient removal, and reverse osmosis. Potable water required for general operation at the Rainier Facility and for operation of the PWTF will use the existing water rights attributed to the neighboring Moses Lake Facility. Potable water delivery is proposed via a 12-inch diameter pipe connecting an existing water tank at the Moses Lake Facility to the PWTF at the Rainier Facility. This waterline shall be installed in an existing utility corridor between these two facilities. LOCATION: The site address of the subject parcel is 2649 Rd O NE, Moses Lake, WA, 98837. The site is in the S 1/2 NW LS R/W & TAX#’S 22 19 29, Grant County, WA. (GC Assessor’s Parcel #18-0217-000). ADDITIONAL PERMITS: Clearing | Grading | Building | Fire | Air | Waste Discharge. PUBLIC HEARING: None. After a review of a completed Environmental Checklist and other information on file with Development Services, Grant County has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment as conditioned. MITIGATION: The landowners/applicants are responsible to determine if any other permits and/or licenses will be required by other local, state, and federal agencies. The landowners/applicants shall acquire all such permits and/or licenses as required. 2. The applicant shall comply with all mitigation measures as provided in the Habitat Management Plan for both Wetlands and Priority Habitat and Species occurrences on the property as provided in said Habitat Management Plan prepared by Vince Barthels, Biologist, of T-O Engineers dated January 2021. 3. Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be utilized as necessary during development and implementation of this proposal in order to minimize temporary disturbances to the subject area, to lessen the risk of erosion, and to stabilize the site during construction. Proper erosion and sediment control practices must be used to prevent upland sediments from entering surface water. Dust and emissions to the air will be controlled by using water on-site for dust control as needed. 4. The proposed development shall not inflict upon adjacent land(s) smoke, dust, glare, dirt, steam, vibration, noise, electrical interference, excessive hazards, odors, or pollution which exceeds applicable local, state, or federal standards. 5. During the excavation activities associated with this Environmental Checklist, the developer shall follow the protocol for Inadvertent Discoveries for cultural resources. 6. Watering of the site will occur as necessary during the construction phase of the project to control dust and other particulates. 7. State regulations regarding safe handling of hazardous materials, if stored, used, found, or produced will be enforced during the construction process. 8. Construction activities will be limited to hours as specified by Grant County which will mitigate the impacts of potential construction noise. 9. Staging areas and all excavation and embankment placement areas shall occur only within the outlined limits of the defined proposed project action area. 10. Contractors will always have emergency spill equipment onsite and must have a Spill Prevention Plan approved and in place prior to any construction activities. The Contractor should check equipment daily for leaks and shall fix any detected leaks. 11. Temporary erosion controls (TECs) (i.e. silt fences, silt curtains, straw bales, or wattles) will be implemented according to the final construction designs. The proposed project will include regular onsite observation of work and TECs. Any deficiencies in TECs shall be addressed immediately. 12. Post-construction reseeding with the recommended seed and the prescribed native plantings used in the restoration effort should provide adequate re-vegetation, erosion control, and address any temporal construction impacts immediately outside the development footprint. A proposed planting schedule is in Table 3, found in the Wetland Mitigation Plan section of this document. 13. Noxious weed management shall be exercised in all areas where ground disturbing activities take place. 14. Any demolition waste created during site preparation and grading activities shall be disposed of at a permitted solid waste facility. 15. Applicant shall submit a Notice of Intent to Ecology for a Construction Stormwater General Permit and will develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to supplement the Construction Stormwater General Permit.
