NOTICE OF DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS)

Whitman County Planning issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11 WAC) for the following project:

The cleaning out of an unnamed creek south of Palouse to prevent flooding of adjacent agricultural fields.This drainage is designated as a farmed wetland and is also a regulated floodplain.Ditching in a floodplain requires a floodplain development permit from Whitman County which triggers a SEPA. Approximately 2,500 to 2,600 feet of this drainage will be cleaned out.The location of the project is approximately 4-5 miles south of Palouse on the south side of Palouse Cove Road just to the south of McKenzie Road and Mader Road, in Sections 20, 17 and 18, Township 15 N., Range 46 E., W. M., Whitman County, Washington.

After review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with us, the Planning Office has determined that this proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.

Copies of the DNS are available at no charge from the Planning Office, Whitman County Public Service Building (2nd Floor), N. 310 Main St., Colfax, WA 99111.Interested persons may submit environmentally-focused written comments on the SEPA decision by 5.00 p.m. on Thursday, December 3, 2015 to the County Planning Office, P.O. Box 430, Colfax, WA 99111-0430, (fax) 509-397-6210,
