Notice of Determination of

Non Significance (DNS)

Washington State Department of Transportation staff considered all relevant environmental and social aspects for the maintenance of McCoy Creek by removing sedimentation. This site is located in Whitman County adjacent to State Route 27 at Milepost 35.60. The tributary crosses under SR 27 through a box culvert at MP 35.52 and ends downstream at Pine Creek 800 lineal feet to the southeast. The proposed work begins at the box culvert and ends 750 lineal feet upstream.

Using State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11 WAC), we reviewed a complete environmental checklist and other relevant information on file. We concluded this action will not have probable significant adverse impacts on the environment resulting from its continued use. We have issued a DNS for the proposal.

If interested in this proposal you may request a free copy of the DNS and information from Dustin Vaughn, Regional Maintenance Environmental Coordinator at Washington State Department of Transportation, 2714 N Mayfair Street, Spokane, WA 99207-2090. Phone: (509) 324-6136, or e-mail vaughdc@wsdot.wa.gov

We will accept written comments mailed to this postal or e-mail address until July 21, 2017. 27/2
