Application Contact Information: Evelyn Zepeda: Regulatory Specialist, Grant PUD [email protected]; (509) 754-7074 Grant PUD has determined that this proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). We have reviewed the attached Environmental Checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available on request. This determination is based on the following findings and conclusions: Majority of the project would occur on parcels that is currently developed (agricultures, industrial, or residential) within the city limits of Quincy and Grant County The project will result in minimal ground disturbance at the individual pole locations of which the majority will occur is currently developed/disturbed areas. A cultural and historical properties survey occurred and there are no potential impacts to historic properties and/or cultural resources within the boundaries of the proposed project. There are also no surface water bodies on or in the immediate vicinity of the construction area. The project could result in the potential disturbance to approximately 1.0 acre of Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (FWHCA; shrub steppe habitat) within the northern parcels associated with the pole installation and an additional 2 acres associated with the access road. Disturbance at the pole locations may result in ground disturbance and the access road would occur on grade with no ground disturbance. The majority of this potential disturbance is expected to be temporary and long term impacts would be avoided and minimized by restoring the existing grade and substrates and hydroseeding disturbed areas with an appropriate upland shrub steppe seed mixture. Mitigation action will result in no net loss of habitat functions and values to FWHCA. This DNS is issued pursuant to WAC 197-11-340(2); the Lead Agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the date below. Comments must be submitted by November 26, 2025.
