SEPA Checklist and Mitigation Measures
Exhibit B: Example Environmental Checklist and Required Mitigation Document
INTRODUCTION
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires environmental review for project and non-project
proposals that are likely to have adverse impacts upon the environment. In order to meet SEPA requirements,
the City of Arlington issued the Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action Draft Environmental Impact
Statement(EIS) on October 1,2020,and the Final EIS was issued on January 11,2021.The Draft and the Final
EIS together are referenced herein as the"EIS".The EIS has identified significant beneficial and adverse impacts
that are anticipated to occur with the future development of the Planned Action Area,together with a number
of possible measures to mitigate those significant adverse impacts.
On January 19, 2021, the City of Arlington adopted Ordinance No. 2021-002 establishing a planned action
designation for the Cascade Industrial Center studied as Planned Action in the EIS(see Exhibit A).SEPA Rules
indicates review of a project proposed as a planned action is intended to be simpler and more focused than for
other projects (WAC 197-11-172).In addition,SEPA allows an agency to utilize a modified checklist form that
is designated within the planned action ordinance(see RCW 43.21c.440).This Exhibit B-1 provides a modified
checklist form adopted in the Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action Ordinance.
MITIGATION DOCUMENT
A Mitigation Document is provided in Exhibit B-2, and also summarized in the environmental checklist.
Exhibit B-2 establishes specific mitigation measures,based upon significant adverse impacts identified in the
EIS. The mitigation measures shall apply to future development proposals which are consistent with the
Planned Action scenarios reviewed in the EIS, and which are located within the Cascade Industrial Center
Planned Action Area (see Exhibit A). In addition, Exhibit B-3 provides details of transportation mitigation
requirements.
APPLICABLE PLANS AND REGULATIONS
The EIS identifies specific regulations that act as mitigation measures. These are summarized in Exhibit B-4
by EIS topic, and are advisory to applicants.All applicable federal, state, and local regulations shall apply to
Planned Actions, including the regulations that are adopted with the Preferred Alternative. Planned Action
applicants shall comply with all adopted regulations where applicable including those listed in the EIS and
those not included in the EIS.
INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. The City of
Arlington will use this checklist to determine whether the project is consistent with the analysis in the Cascade
Industrial Center Planned Action EIS and qualifies as a planned action or would otherwise require additional
environmental review under SEPA.Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known,or
give the best description you can.You must answer each question accurately and carefully,to the best of your
knowledge.The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal,even if you plan to do them over a period
of time or on different parcels of land.Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects.The City may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information.
In most cases,you should be able to answer the questions from your own project plans and the Planned Action
EIS without the need to hire experts.

are highlighted in this Exhibit or not.
City of Arlington CIC Planned Action Page 16
Natural Environment
Development and redevelopment projects within the study area that have the potential to impact environmentally sensitive
natural resources will require compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Mitigation sequencing to avoid, minimize,
and mitigate environmental impacts is typically required for all applicable permitting reviews and authorizations. The table
below provides a regulatory permit matrix for actions requiring local,state,and federal authorizations.Appropriate mitigation
measures specific to project alternatives will need to be proposed when alternatives are farther along in the planning process.
This may include preservation,enhancement,and restoration of wetland and marine shoreline buffer.

■ Arlington's SMP includes policies and regulations that would require appropriate cultural review by tribal and other
agencies.
City of Arlington CIC Planned Action Page 17
■ State funded capital projects require Governor's Executive Order 0505 review. Implementation of the Executive Order
requires all state agencies implementing or assisting capital projects using funds appropriated in the State's biennial
Capital Budget to consider how future proposed projects may impact significant cultural and historic places.
■ Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires that each federal agency identify and assess the effects its
actions may have on historic buildings.
Transportation
The following regulations address transportation:
• Travel Demand Management(TDM):Washington State Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law requires employers with 100 or
more employees and located in high-population counties to implement TDM programs.
• Arlington Complete Streets Program
• Arlington Transportation Improvement Program and Capital Improvement Program
• The following regulations and standards:
• AMC Chapter 10.80 - Commute Trip Reduction
• AMC Chapter 20.56 - Streets and Sidewalks
• Chapter 20.90 - Concurrency and Impact Fees
• Arlington Engineering Standards
• AMC Chapter 20.44.098—Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Public Services
The following regulations address public services:
• Comprehensive Plan —Addresses levels of service and capital improvements for fire, police, and parks. This is updated
every eight years with the Comprehensive Plan.
• Title 15 Fire—Includes requirements for fire suppression.
• Parks and Recreation Master Plan—Establishes a plan for 201 6-2023 including capital projects.
• Arlington School District Levy 2020—Addresses Capital Replacement projects to ensure proper function of current schools.
Utilities
Water
When evaluating new construction,Arlington Public Works and Utilities Department personnel determine the ability of the water
system to meet fire flow requirements at that location with a minimum of 20 psi residual pressure throughout the distribution
system. If the water system cannot provide the required fire flow for the specific project, the developer is required to revise
building construction and/or make the necessary improvements to the distribution system to meet the project's fire flow
requirements as established by the City Fire Chief. The available fire flow will be determined by the City's engineering staff
using the water system hydraulic model.
AMC Chapterl 3.08.includes provisions for service connections and mains to be upgraded by developers during redevelopment
if required to meet engineering design and construction standards. Chapter 13.08. also includes provisions for installation of
pumps if required to achieve adequate pressure during peak demands.
Wastewater
AMC Chapter 13.36 includes provisions for wastewater service connections and extensions when existing connections are
inadequate or sewer mains are not present along the frontage of a property.
City of Arlington CIC Planned Action Page 18
Stormwater
AMC Chapter 13.28 includes provisions that require redevelopment to meet stormwater management requirements of the
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, which requires low impact development BMPs, flow control, and
water quality treatment. Under all the alternatives these requirements are expected to result in a net improvement in the quality
of stormwater that is discharged to the Stillaguamish River and Quilceda Creek via ditches, Hayho Creek, Westphal Creek,
Portage Creek, Prairie Creek and Edgecomb Creek.
