Lime Kiln Fiber Optic Cable Project SEPA Environmental Checklist 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. San Juan County Shoreline Exemption
11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (State Parks) has received funding to install fiber optic cable to several parks which currently do not have sufficient connectivity to operate effectively. One of the parks includes Lime Kiln State Park.
At Lime Kiln State Park there is an existing utility pole with fiber optic cable located in the San Juan County right of way, just outside of the park’s entrance. As part of this project, a connection will be made from this pole to the park office. In addition, there are two residences located in the park (the historic light house keeper’s homes) and State Parks will also connect the cable to these two residences.
Due to timing constraints associated with project funding, it is possible that this project will need to be conducted in two phases (see Exhibit B – Sheet 2). However, if the necessary approvals can be obtained in sufficient time, Phase 2 would not be needed. Each phase of the project will be constructed by Rock Island. More information on these two phases is provided below:
Phase 1 – Approximately 1,300 feet of fiber optic cable will be installed from the existing utility pole to the park office and park residences (See Exhibit A). This cable will be installed in conduit within a trench. This trench is estimated to be two (2) feet deep and one (1) foot wide. The trench would follow the existing utility route of the park’s power, phone and water lines. However, in areas where the existing utility lines are overlain by asphalt or concrete, the proposed fiber optic cable line will be re-routed to follow the footprint of existing infrastructure (road shoulders, building footprints, etc.). The connection to the residences would be made by using directional boring to tunnel under the existing historic sidewalk. This work would take place upon the receipt of necessary permits, likely in spring or summer of 2019.
Phase 2 – If Phase 1 cannot be completed before the June 30th deadline, then Rock Island (the fiber optic cable provider) will provide a temporary wireless shot. A transmitter will be attached to the existing utility pole. A receiver will then be attached to the park office. With this equipment in place a wireless signal will be transmitted to the receiver to establish connectivity. Due to Rock Island policies and challenges with consistent connectivity, this solution would be temporary until Phase 1 can be completed. If needed, this work would likely take place in May or June of 2019.

Lime Kiln Fiber Optic Cable Project SEPA Environmental Checklist 1) Describe any known or possible contamination at the site from present or past uses. Review of the Department of Ecology’s online “What’s In My Neighborhood” map (accessed April 11, 2019) indicates there are no cleanup sites in or near Lime Kiln Point State Park.
2) Describe existing hazardous chemicals/conditions that might affect project development and design. This includes underground hazardous liquid and gas transmission pipelines located within the project area and in the vicinity. None known.
3) Describe any toxic or hazardous chemicals that might be stored, used, or produced during the project's development or construction, or at any time during the operating life of the project. Gasoline and other petroleum products may be used for power machinery and smaller power tools. The materials may be stored in construction areas on the site.
4) Describe special emergency services that might be required.
No special emergency services are anticipated to be required. Access to the park is paved and will not present an obstacle to emergency vehicle access if required.
5) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any:
Best management practices will be used with regard to petroleum based fuels and lubricants for tools and equipment , including spill prevention and control measures. b. Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: traffic, equipment, operation, other)? There are no sources of noise in the area that would affect the project.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indi- cate what hours noise would come from the site. The project will not result in long-term increases in noise levels at the Park. During construction, the use of powered equipment will result in short-term increases in noise levels in portions of the Park. Equipment to be used may include trucks, excavators, and hand powered tools. Equipment of this type typically generates noise levels between 75 dBA and 90dBA at a distance of 50 feet. These noise levels are consistent with construction of utility installation and repair work that would occur in the vicinity.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: Construction would be short in duration, and would take place within approved work hours (during daylight) to limit the potential for impacts to wildlife.
