On Cedar Avenue, the project adds a concrete sidewalk, curb, gutter, ADA sidewalk ramps to the Jefferson County Library driveway entrance, a bus pullout for Jefferson Transit, stormwater facilities adjacent to the sidewalk, low level pedestrian illumination to the west side of the Cedar Avenue sidewalk, crosswalks and bike lanes on both sides of Cedar Avenue and the Utility relocation by Jefferson County Public Utility District #1. At the Jefferson County Library, the project adds concrete sidewalks, ADA sidewalk ramps, and a crosswalk along the south side of the Jefferson County Library driveway entrance, from Cedar Avenue to the library building. At Chimacum Creek Primary School, the project adds a shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists beginning at Cedar Avenue and ending at the northeast corner of the Chimacum Creek Primary School Parking lot. The path will be located on the north side of the existing fence between Chimacum Primary School and Jefferson County Library. The path will be 10 feet wide with 2-foot-wide gravel shoulders and will include low level pedestrian illumination. On SR 116, proposes to install Pedestrian Activated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) on the shoulders of SR 116 at the Chimacum Creek Primary School driveway entrance. Stormwater management is treated separately for the path and the additions to Cedar Avenue. The engineered stormwater plans have been prepared by Jefferson County Public Works. Construction is tentatively scheduled for the summer of 2021. The Safe Routes to School grant includes an estimated project coast of $880,300. Date Issued:12/22/2020

This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and all other submitted information.

Title: STORMWATER
Wording The proposal will create 12,016 square feet of new impervious surface for the Cedar Avenue portion of the project and 2810.66 square feet of new impervious surface for the multiuse path. The 2019 SWMMWW requires proponents of developments that meet these criteria to develop and implement a Stormwater Site Plan that complies with Minimum Requirements #1 #9.

Title: ENGINEERED STORMWATER PLAN
Wording An Engineered Stormwater Plan designed by Jefferson County Department of Public Works has been submitted and approved by the Department of Community Development. Once the subject permit has been issued the applicant shall fully implement the provisions of the submitted plan. No clearing for roadways or utilities shall occur on the project site until clearing necessary for the installation of temporary sedimentation and erosion control measures have been completed.

Title: BMPS
Wording The project shall adhere to the Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control stormwater, erosion and sediment during construction. BMPs shall address permanent measures to stabilize soil exposed during construction, and in the design and operation of stormwater and drainage control systems.

Aquifers are geologic formations that contain sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs. Aquifers serve as the source of drinking water within most of the rural portions of Jefferson County. Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas may require special protection measures to mitigate water quality degradation. The submitted proposal does not require additional aquifer protection measures.
