NOTICE OF A 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 removal of a fallen bridge from the Palouse River. The recent fires which swept through the

Palouse set ablaze the Manning-Rye Bridge which then collapsed into the river. This project, which

involves several state agencies, the County, and the Whitman Conservation District, will remove

the bridge from the river. A crane will lift the remains of the bridge from the river and the remains

will then be transported to a licensed landfill. The location of the project lies northwest of Colfax,

off the south side of Manning Road, approximately 1⁄4 mile west from the intersection of Green

Hollow Road and Manning Road, in Section 32, Township 17 N., Range 43 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, October 29, 2020, to the County Planning Office, P.O. Box 430, Colfax, WA 99111-

0430, (fax) 509-397-6210.
