Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Introduction The Snoquera Landscape Analysis Environmental Assessment (EA, May 2019) is incorporated by reference. The EA contains a detailed discussion of the purpose and need for action, proposed action with project design criteria, no action alternative, resource conditions, and environmental effects of the alternatives. The Snoquera project is located on the Snoqualmie Ranger District of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest (MBS), King and Pierce Counties of northwest Washington. It is located to the east, and southeast of the city of Enumclaw. The project area boundary encompasses approximately 191,215 acres, with approximately 115,597 acres on National Forest System (NFS) lands. This decision notice (DN) is based on a review of the EA, specialist reports and related scientific literature, the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan), as amended, and comments received during the scoping period, and the opportunity to comment on the EA, as well as Tribal consultation discussions. The final EA is available for public review at the Snoqualmie Ranger District Office located in North Bend, WA. Project documents, maps, and other associated information can be found in the project record and on the MBS website. Decision Based upon my review of the EA and supporting documents, and input from the Interdisciplinary Team (ID Team), local Tribes, members of the public and other agencies, I have decided to implement the Proposed Action - Alternative 2 (EA at 23-57), including project design criteria described in the EA at 59-83. Consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for the acclimation ponds will occur separately from the remainder of activities described in the proposed action, therefore, the acclimation ponds are not part of this decision. The proposed action includes approximately 12,245 acres of proposed variable density timber thinning, 3,030 acres of non-commercial, and habitat improvement vegetation treatments, improvements to the transportation system and aquatic organism passage (AOP), 23.83 miles of road decommissioning, a shooting area closure, and a suite of other restoration and recreation projects such as stream improvements, dispersed camping site improvements, and trailhead enhancements. See the table below for complete list of activities. The full description of the proposed action, without acclimation ponds, and design criteria are provided as appendices to this DN.

Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest 4 Snoqualmie Ranger District, Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Reasons for the Decision The proposed action is the result of our interdisciplinary process over the past two years, which aims to provide for the varied, and sometimes contrasting, things we are charged with managing under the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960. We cited this Act in the EA when describing the need for the proposal (EA at 12) because this Act highlights the challenges of land management. “It is the policy of Congress that the National Forests are established and shall be administered for outdoor recreation, range, timber, watershed, and wildlife and fish purposes”. Our forests are productive, unique and complex. I must also keep in mind that the implementing regulations of the National Environmental Policy Act, 40 CFR 1500, under which this analysis and decision are issued, direct us to “use all practicable means, consistent with the requirements of the Act and other essential considerations of national policy, to restore and enhance the quality of the human environment and avoid or minimize any possible adverse effects of their actions upon the quality of the human environment3”. I emphasize the human environment because therein lies the management

SUMMARY At its February 1, 2021 meeting, the City Council held a Public Hearing on a code amendment related to public noticing of land use actions (see Exhibit 1). That code amendment would have, if passed, expanded the required mailing radius for noticing surrounding property owners of land use actions (from 300 feet to 600 feet). The City Council action was not to pass the code amendment. However, in doing so, the City Council expressed an interest in using the Council committee process to evaluate alternative improvements to public noticing.

  • Fact Sheet for NPDES Permit WA0991001 Boeing Everett Cleanup Site May 11, 2015
    Fact Sheet for NPDES Permit WA0991001 Boeing Everett Cleanup Site May 11, 2015 Purpose of this fact sheet This fact sheet explains and documents the decisions the Department of Ecology (Ecology) made in drafting the proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for Boeing Everett, WA. This fact sheet complies with Section 173-220-060 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), which requires Ecology to prepare a draft permit and accompanying fact sheet for public evaluation before issuing an NPDES permit. Ecology makes the draft permit and fact sheet available for public review and comment at least thirty (30) days before issuing the final permit. Copies of the fact sheet and draft permit for Boeing Everett (Boeing), NPDES permit WA0991001, are available for public review and comment from March 10 to April 10, 2015. For more details on preparing and filing comments about these documents, please see Appendix A – Public Involvement Information. Boeing has reviewed the draft permit and fact sheet for factual accuracy. Ecology corrected any errors or omissions regarding the facility’s location, history, discharges, or receiving water prior to publishing this draft fact sheet for public notice. After the public comment period closes, Ecology will summarize substantive comments and provide responses to them. No public comments were received during the public comment period for this permit. Summary Boeing is conducting a remedial cleanup of trichloroethylene (TCE) in groundwater to achieve hydraulic control of TCE in the plume, and to reduce to maximum extent practicable discharge to Powder Mill Creek. The remediation consists of extracting and treating contaminated groundwater through an air stripper treatment system.

As you will see, we accomplished quite a bit this year. I emphasize “we” because emergency management extends far beyond DEM’s facility and staff. It requires effort from county departments, the Health District, the Sheriff’s Office, our jurisdic- tional partners, private and non-profit organizations, faith– and community-based organizations, neighborhoods, and individu- als….it is all of us! The need for all of us to be prepared is the premise for our new “Individually Prepared, Together Resilient” campaign. Not only are we asking folks to stay informed, make a plan, and have a kit; we want them to get in- volved!!! We have ways to do that such as joining our Auxiliary Communications Service (our HAM radio volunteers), participating in Map Your Neighborhood and/or Community Emergency Response Team training, or being part of our Snohomish Emergency Response Volunteers (SERV). We are doing our part here, working diligently this year to ensure we addressed all of the issues identified during the 2016 Cascadia Rising exercise. In addition, with jurisdictions throughout the county, we assessed our collective abilities to do some very specific things, including the ability for every jurisdiction to set up an emergency operations centers, to communicate with backup capabilities like HAM radios, and to share information.
