The lead agency for this proposal has determined that the project does not have a probable adverse impact on the environment, mitigation measures will be covered through the City of Ferndale regulations and review process. In addition to compliance with current City regulations, the following mitigation measures were identified relative to the proposed project:
EARTH: During construction, the contractor will install all appropriate measures and Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be in place to prevent erosion as required by the City of Ferndale, including mechanisms such as silt fences and straw waddles that are designed to capture sediment. Compliance with the City’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for soil stabilization is required.
AIR: Erosion and sediment control best management practices will be used during construction. Spraying the disturbed soil with water will limit the amount of dust. The idling of work vehicles will be reduced or eliminated, dump trucks will be covered, and regular inspection of vehicles will be performed.
WATER: The contractor will implement Temporary Erosion and Sediment Controls (TESC) and Best Management Practices (BMP) and construct an engineered storm water management system designed to meet current Department of Ecology manual requirements.
Stormwater will be treated according to current standards in the current edition of the DOE Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington and the Highway Runoff Manual.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH: Construction will be limited to the legal working hours for construction as stated in the Ferndale Municipal Code. Generally, working hours will occur between 7am to 10pm; however, utility work may be scheduled overnight in limited circumstances to limit impacts on utility customers.
Any potential spills during construction activities and subsequent daily use will be addressed immediately in accordance with City of Ferndale and Washington State Department of Ecology standards and requirements.
Any hazardous materials onsite during construction or as part of subsequent daily use must be stored in accordance with adopted State and local regulations.
Construction equipment will be closely monitored onsite to identify any possible leaks.
PLANTS: Native plants will be installed within the bioretention facilities to enhance vegetation.
All site landscaping shall comply with City of Ferndale landscape standards. Landscape design will enhance native vegetation and supplement native soils with compost amendments.
ANIMALS: The proposal is not projected to affect any priority habitats or listed species and therefore does not contain measures to further preserve or enhance wildlife.
TRANSPORTATION: Payment of traffic impact fees shall be paid pursuant to building permit approval and subject to the most recent TIF rate. The access road will be constructed to City standard.
PUBLIC SERVICES: Water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure will be constructed to City standards.
LIGHT AND GLARE: Light from streetlamps will be directed towards the roadway to reduce spillage into surrounding properties.
PUBLIC SAFETY: Provision of fire protection infrastructure per Fire District Requirements; traffic control during construction shall be coordinated between the applicant, Ferndale Public Works Department and the Ferndale Police Department.
CULTURAL RESOURCES:
Inadvertent Discovery of Archaeological Resources:
Should archaeological resources (e.g., shell midden, animal remains, stone tools) be observed during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity should stop, and the area should be secured. The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (Stephanie Jolivette, Local Government Archaeologist 360-586-3088) and the Lummi Nation Tribal Historic Preservation Office (Lena Tso, THPO 360-312-2257; Tamela Smart, Deputy THPO 360-312-2253) should be contacted immediately in order to help assess the situation and to determine how to preserve the resource(s). Compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to archaeological resources is required.
Inadvertent Discovery of Human Skeletal Remains on Non-Federal and Non-Tribal Land in the State of Washington (RCWs 68.50.645, 27.44.055, and 68.60.055)
“If ground disturbing activities encounter human skeletal remains during the course of construction, then all activity will cease that may cause further disturbance to those remains. The area of the find will be secured and protected from further disturbance until the State provides notice to proceed. The finding of human skeletal remains will be reported to the county medical examiner/coroner and local law enforcement in the most expeditious manner possible. The remains will not be touched, moved, or further disturbed. The county medical examiner/coroner will assume jurisdiction over the human skeletal remains and make a determination of whether those remains are forensic or non-forensic. If the county medical examiner/coroner determines the remains are non-forensic, then they will report that finding to the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) who will then take jurisdiction over the remains. The DAHP will notify any appropriate cemeteries and all affected tribes of the find. The State Physical Anthropologist will make a determination of whether the remains are Indian or Non-Indian and report that finding to any appropriate cemeteries and the affected tribes. The DAHP will then handle all consultation with the affected parties as to the future preservation, excavation, and disposition of the remains” (DAHP).
