1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SITE BACKGROUND
The Site is a 3.81 acre area consisting of two parcels of land. One parcel (approximately
1.95 acres is owned by the Port of Port Angeles, while the other (roughly 1.86 acres) is ~..~.~
leased to the Port by the Washington Department of Natural Resources. The Site lies west
of Oak Street and north of Front Street near the western edge of downtown Port Angeles.
To the west lies the newly restored Valley Creek Estuary. West of this are K-Plyand other
~ ;{vV~,,~,yindustrial%' -?.,¢' and commercial properties. Avariety of commercial properties are located tothe ~,,o~,.
~)~.east and south of the proposed project.
-~*'Y~;¥~ ;~.~'r)The Site was once used as a log storage yard. More recently a portion of it has been used
for extended stay public parking, particularly for the Victoria Ferries. The land west of the
Site was also previously a log yard, but has been restored by local civic organizations
(mainly Soroptomists International) as an estuary, the month of Valley Creek.
1.2 PROPOSED PROIECT
The proposed Hotel/Conference Center is a 150 room facility with 11,000 square feet of
j, conference center space (sized to hold conferences of 600-700 persons). The proposed
· . .
building will be a four floor structure with a maximum building height of 42 feet. Parking
will be provided on-site for approximately 125 vehicles. Off-site parking will be provided
nearby for approximately 235 additional vehicles. Site plans, floor plans and elevations
have been prepared by Ehm Architecture and have been submitted to the City of Port
Angeles, where they can be reviewed by the public.
1.3 SITE ALTERNATIVF~
The Site is one of the few sites which are currently not developed and which would
accommodate the required capacity. Other potential sites would be less desirable for
business and marketing purposes. There is a large site, formerly a log storage area east of
the Daishowa mill. This site is large but is next to a large industrial site and is a
considerable distance away from the downtown core (nearly a mile). Another potential
site for future development is the Rayonier Site, however, this site is not expected to be
available for five or more years due to necessary environmental cleanup. Other sites might
be available on the west side of Port Angeles, along Highway 101, however, these sites
would not offer the same amenities or access to downtown as the Oak Street Site.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 ~
On-site alternatives would include alternative parking structures to solve potential parking
problems. This could include a parking garage across Oak Street from the Site, or parking
below the facility itself. Due to the low elevation of the Site, feasibility studies would be
necessary if the latter possibility were pursued. Parking solutions which minimize on-site
parking requirements could improve amount of landscape space, open space or public
access and recreational area (e.g. near the waterfront trail).

2.0 APPROACH AND METHODS
This Environmental Assessment has been prepared through research of existing data and
reports obtained from local agencies including the City of Port Angeles, Clallam County,
and state and federal agencies. Data and reports were not available from the Port of Port
Angeles, however a phone interview was obtained from the Port Director.
Figures were prepared from standard area maps. Figure 3 was prepared from a stormwater
facilities map provided by Northwestern Territories, Inc., the Civil Engineers designing this
aspect of the project. Table I was prepared from data estimates from Ehm Architecture.
Table 2 was prepared from data provided by the City of Port Angeles.

11. Give brief, complete demription of your proposal, including the proposed
uses and size of the project and site.
The project as defined is to construct a 150 room hotel and an 11,000 square foot
convention center on a parcel of land north of Front Street and west of Oak Street along
the Port Angeles waterfront. The land is currently owned by the Pon of Pon Angeles, with
a portion of the property under state ownership, administered by the Washington
Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Construction of the project would involve the
purchase of the property from the Port of Port Angeles, a exchange of equal sized land
parcels with DNR(estimated 15,600 square feet based on current design) and a subsequent
lease of land from DNR for parking for the facility. The structure itself would be built
entirely on land owned by the Pon following the property exchange. Conceptual details
of the exchange and the purchase have been worked out with the Port and DNR.
/The proposed building will be four stories in height at a maximum height of 42 feet. The
l¢41st floor will contain a lobby, cafe/lounge, a restaurant, supporting space (mechanical,
laundry,storage, rest rooms, linen storage, staff offices etc.), an 11,000 square foot
~,l~Vconference center, an exercise/training room and an indoor pool. The second and third
floors each contain about 50 rooms and a guest service area. The third floor also contains
a deck area on the east side. The fourth floor contains about 50 rooms plus an upseale
bistro/lounge.
.~V°~On-site parking will be provided as per Port Angeles City Code. Some off-site mrking will
('aaalso. be provided at a nearby location. Present plans call for approximately ~total' on-
s~te parking spaces. The developer is currently investigating feasibility for below ground
parking under the facility, off-site parking at an adjacent lot, or possibly constructing a
parking garage.
~.**'Environmental and engineering studies for the facility are on-going at this time.

review. Similarly a Drainage Plan and related civil engineering studies is being prepared
by licensed civil engineers (Northwestern Territories, Inc.) and will be similarly circulated.
12. Location of the proposal:
Shoreline property within the City of Port Angeles, located west of Oak
Street and noah of Front Street and east of the Valley Creek Estuary Site
(see Figures 1-3).
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 ~ ~
B. EI~/IRO~ME~ ELEMEN'I~
1. EARTH
a. General description of the Site (Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes,
mountainous, other:
The Site is topographically level. It is a shoreline site bordering Port
"/ Angeles Harbor and is at a mean elevation of approximately 13.7 to
16.7 feet msl. The Site lies roughly 7-8 feet above mean high water
(at elevation 5.92). To the south, the City of Port Angeles slopes up
gradually for a distance of about 500 feet to the base of a steep bluff
50-60 feet in height. Slope of the hillside is in excess of 100 percent
slope in some places.
b.What is the steepest slope on the Site (approximate percent slope)?
The site is entirely at less than 2 percent slope.
c. What general types of soils are found on the Site (clay, sand, gravel,
peat muck)? Note classification of agricultural soils (if any?) and
note any prime farmland.
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service mapping (SCS 1987) shows the
Site to be within an area of Elwha-Clallam-Catla soils, which are
shallow to moderately deep moderately well drained soils found on
hills. Specifically, the mapping shows the Site to be within soil unit
#3, classified as "beaches", gravelly, cobbly and sandy areas subject
to wave action during major storms and generally unvegetated. Due
to the placement of fill and riprap along the shoreline, the Site has
been historically altered. The surface soils are fill material and the
Site is largely protected from wave action by the riprap seawall.
The surface soils on the site are imported compact fill material. This
material is medium to dense gravelly-sand or sandy gravel material
(PacRim Geotechnical 2002). Geotechnical borings taken at several
locations show that the surface material is underlain by marine
deposits (medium to dense silty sand intermixed with wood and shell
fragments) below the existing fill to depths of approximately 38-40
feet. This material is underlain by very dense glacial deposits (very
dense silty sand or sandy silt with gravel) ( PacRim Geotechnical
2002).
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 6 ~
There are no soils on the site that are agriculturally suited, nor are
there any soils which would constitute prime farmland. There are no
wetland soils on the site, although the fill material appears to have
been placed within historic wetlands as is much of the shoreline
portion of Port Angeles.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the
immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
~Geotechnical investigations and physical testing of drilled soils
indicates that the fill and marine deposits may be prone to some
settling or compression and that the proposed structure should
therefore be supported on piles which would extend into the glacial
deposits to depths of about 45 feet (PacRim Geotechnical 2002).
e. Describe the purpose, type and approximate quantities of any filling
or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
No fill is expected to be necessary. Grading of the Site will be limited
to preparation of the Site for foundations since the Site is already
level. Piles will be driven into the fill and marine sediment material
and will not require additional grading. Final grading will be
conducted prior to paving of parking areas.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction or use? If so,
generally describe.
Erosion could occur during grading due to stockpiling of soil. The
Site is nearly level and erosion hazard is slight provided that prudent
erosion/sediment control measures are employed to control discharge
to the Strait. If construction occurs past October 15, it is
recommended that the parking area be paved with a primary layer of
asphalt to limit erosion/sedimentation and control mud/ and or dust
during the construction process. This plus placement of erosion
control measures (hay bales, silt fences, netting) between the
construction area and the shoreline is expected to adequately control
erosion.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 7
g. About what percent of the Site will be covered with impervious
surfaces after project construction (for example asphalt or buildings)?
~/Approximately 75-85 percent of the site will be covered with
impervious surface (building, sidewalks and asphalt parking areas)
following completion of construction. The remainder of the area is
expected to be landscaped with native or approved ornamental plants.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to
the earth, if any:
f~' - The major recommended erosion control method would be placing a
~0~, primary asphalt coating over the proposed parking areas prior to
5,~ construction. This would be particularly important if construction is
' ,cJb~ to continue through fall and winter months as planned.
~v~v'~-~u~\~9"rCj~'~ Additional erosion control should include extension of the existing silt
fence to the eastern and western sides of the Site. Jute netting, straw
bales or other soil stabilization measures should be used on areas
~/ which will be uncovered for substantial periods of time. Landscape
/~ areas sh°uld be c°vered with n°n-er°dible materials until vegetati°n
can be planted. These procedures are expected to minimize erosion
and to eliminate potential sedimentation of the nearby shoreline area.
In the event that a new stormwater discharge point is needed, this
should be constructed only during dry summer months (preferably
July through September). Breaching of the tiptop and installation of
the storm discharge drain should be done in as minimal time as
possible, preferably during a low tide cycle to minimize sedimentation.
An Erosion Control plan keyed to the design and construction of the
discharge pipe should be prepared prior to installation.
AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e.
dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction
and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and
give approximate quantities if known.
During construction, the most likely air quality impacts would be dust
from construction vehicles moving on the site and vehicle emissions.
Vehicle emissions can be expected to be mainly from diesel engines,
a mixture mainly composed of particulates and hydrocarbon gases.
ENV/050902 8
Dust can be reduced by wetting of soils one to three times per day, or
by paving the site with a preliminary layer of asphalt. If paving is not
done, a water source should be made available at the site for wetting
(hoses connected to City water or a water truck).
Upon completion, the project would result in additional automobile
emissions (delivery trucks, passenger cars and light trucks). The
project is anticipated to require parking for up to 360 vehicles at a
time. Pollution from those vehicles will be added to ambient air when
those vehicles are in use on or near the Site.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect
your proposal? If so, generally describe.
Off-site emissions from K-ply and from Daishawa America may affect
the Site to some extent. These emissions include a variety of
particulate and gaseous air pollutants and may periodically generate
odors at the Site. No monitoring of the area has been conducted and
concentrations of pollutants or consequent effects on human health or
the environment are unknown. Both facilities are expected to be
generally in compliance with emission permits, however, no air
quality measurements or modelling has been conducted.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to
air, if any:
All construction machinery should be well tuned prior to use. The
Site should be regularly watered (water truck present on or near Site)
if not paved prior to construction.
Alternative methods of transportation to and from the Site should be
explored as feasible, however, these are not expected to be
particularly successful since hotel/conference center users will
generally travel to Port Angeles via private automobile or via
commercial airline (to William Fairchild International Airport).
Shuttle service to and from the airport during conferences could
reduce the amount of private automobiles and hence air pollution to
a minor extent.
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 9
3. WATER
a. Surface Water
1. Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity
of the Site (including year-round and seasonal streams,
saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and
provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it
flows into.
The Site is adjacent to Port Angeles Harbor, an embayment
within the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the north. To the west is
the Valley Creek Estuary, a restored creek mouth for Valley
Creek. Port Angeles Harbor is a tidal, meso-haline water body.
2. Will the project require any work over, in or adjacent to
(within 200 fee0 of the described waters? If yes, please
describe and attach available plans.
Yes. The project will require work within 200 feet of the
Strait of Juan de Fuca. The proponent will apply for a
Shoreline Development Permit for the work.
3. Estimate the amount of fill or dredge material that would be
placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and
indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate
the source of fill material.
No fill or dredge material will be placed in surface waters or
wetlands.
4. Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or
diversions? Give general description, purpose, and
approximate quantities if known.
No. No direct surface water withdrawals or diversions will be
made. The project will utilize City water. City water at
present is pumped from the Elwha River, so water use by the
project will constitute an indirect increase in surface water
withdrawals from the Elwha as do all City projects requiring
water use.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 ~o
5. Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note
location on the site plan.
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) produced by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate that the Site
lies within Flood Zone C, or an area of minimal potential
flooding (FEMA 1990). The Site does impound some water
due to its nearly fiat topography. Parking and landscape areas
should be carefully sloped toward storm drains to prevent
inadvertent creation of small water features on the Site.
~9,~t,~r' 6. Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to
6~/f t~ surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and
o>~'~ ~ ~°~i~ anticipated volume of discharge.
°>~Jfg"~zt~- of~-~f~ No. No water materials will be discharged directly to surface
'-~4~/-'¢ ~/~f~' , b'fr~ -~/f---- waters. Sanitary waste from the project will be directed to
.4V ~'~k~",t3 ~3.~'~ I~~/ Citysewers and pumpod to the existing City sewage treatment
· .t~- v 'F~// ~' facilities. Stormwater will be gathered via a drainage system,
~ ~cgo' /t/~ _,,~'~ routed to catchbasins and discharged to the Harbor (Figure 3).
-- :~o'1~/,,_,.|"~'~ b. Ground Water
~,,~,.kg ~ 1. Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged
to ground water7. Give general description, purpose, and
/'/d/ '~/ approximate quantities if known.
No use of or discharge to groundwater is anticipated.
2. Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground
from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example:
domestic sewage; industrial; containing the following
chemicals; agricultural etc.). Describe the general size of the
system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to
be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans
the system(s) are expected to serve.
No discharge to ground sources is anticipated. The project will
discharge sanitary waste to the City Sewage Treatment Plant
which discharges to the outer harbor following secondary
treatment of effluent. It will discharge excess stormwater to
the Harbor as described above.
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 n
Water Runoff (including storm water):
1. Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and
method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if
known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into
other waters? If so, describe.
Stormwater will be collected by a Stormwater Collection
System designed by a qualified Civil Engineer. Stormwater on
the site will be directed toward storm drains with catchbasins
and pollution control tees. From them stormwater will flow to
a centralized collection area where it will pass through an oil-
water separator or a CDSpollution control system (Continuous
Deflective Separation). Either the individual catchbasins or the
main collection line will be fitted with oil/water separators to
trap hydrocarbon pollutants. Following pollution control,
stormwater will be discharged to the Harbor.
There ~s an existing stormwater discharge point which
currently serves Oak Street and Railroad Avenue located at the
northeastern comer of the Site. Another existing discharge
from Front Street flows into the Valley Creek Estuary. The
project may use a new discharge at the northwestern comer of
the Site (see Figure 3), since the City ~nd other agencies will
j not allow discharge into the Estuary. However, if the Oak-
Railroad discharge can be used, project flows could be routed
to this point, eliminating the need for shoreline construction of
an additional discharge. This will be determined by the design
engineer in consultation with the City Engineer.
2. Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so,
generally describe.
Sanitary waste will be pumped to the City's waste treatment
facility where it will be treated. Stormwater will be treated by
detention and oil/water separators. Solid waste will be
removed from the Site by regular trash collection services
provided by the City. Restaurant waste will be treated as
necessary prior to discharge to the sewers.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 ~2
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground and runoff
water impacts, if any:
~,~d~,~ Proper design of the Drainage Plan will be the major mitigation
~ -9 3t~ .. -.,~ measure for stormwater. Detention of stormwater would reduce large
, ,~'~. bb¢ ~t~.~, sediment particles, particularly during construction. The City should
-~ ~gvW'~ .tv~0 .~~5~ ensure that the sewer hookups used serve only separate sanitary
/.~'~'. ~' 'a,o; r,. 6o~,- sewers (there are still a few combined sanitary/stormwater sewers in
-~ ~ '~,' ~ the downtown area).
,/.,:~,~4~d- a. Check types of vegetation found on the site:
, ~y Ao At present, there is no significant vegetation on the Site. There is a
qve-/v~,~ ~\~'~. small amount of grass which was planted by local volunteers to help
~ r-~ ~ "· stabilize the soil in connection with the Valley Creek Estuary project.
Deciduous trees (alder, maple, aspen, other): None present.
Evergreen Trees (fir, cedar, pine, other): None present.
Shrubs: None present.
Grasses: Limited cover of introduced (planted) grass species.
Pasture: None present.
Crop or grain: None present.
Wet soil plants: (Cattail, buttercup, bulrush, skunk cabbage, other):
The Site itself does not contain wetland plants. A few of these plants
are re-establishing themselves in the adjacent estuary.
Water plants: (water lily, eelgrass, milfoil, other): None present on
the Site. There are aquatic plants, including nearby eelgrass beds at
various locations in the Harbor offshore from the Site.
Other types of vegetation: None present
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 13
b. What type and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered?
Since there is no significant vegetation present except for a thin grass
cover, there will be no significant vegetation removal. It will be
important to re-establish vegetation cover with grass or other
plantings to control erosion, unless the area is otherwise covered prior
to and during construction (e.g. paving).
c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the
Site.
There are no threatened or endangered plant species on or near the
Site. Eelgrass colonies have undergone somewhat of a decline in
recent years in local waters, however, these species are not listed as
threatened or endangered at this time.
d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to
preserve or enhance vegetation on the Site, if any:
The Site will be landscaped following construction. The landscaping
will emphasize native species of plants wherever possible. Other
ornamental species, particularly shrubs and trees will be used in some
locations where applicable and desirable.
ANIMALS
a. Check any birds and animals which have been observed on or near
the Site or are known to be on or near the Site:
Birds: (hawk, heron, eagle, songbirds, other): Seagulls occasionally
have been observed to utilize the Site. Very little habitat exists for
other birds, however, it is probably used occasionally used by other
species.
Fish (bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, othe0: Coho salmon are
present in the waters adjacent to the Site. Steelhead trout are also
known to be present in these waters. The North Olympic Peninsula
,~d Salmon Habitat Recovery Lead Entity (NOPLE2001) lists both stocks
as "declining" and/or "depressed". NOPLE lists chum salmon as
~'1/ extirpat~l from the urban watersheds in Port Angeles Harbor and
cutthroat trout as "unknown" in these watersheds. Pink salmon were
WT785PAC.ENV/050902
also present in the Harbor in the 1960's but may be presently
extirpated (Shea et al. 1981).
Shellfish including a variety of hardshell and softshell clams, Pacific
oysters, shrimp and Dungeness Crab are found in the Harbor and
nearby waters. Other fish species include English sole, Pacific herring,
surf smelt, prickleback, as well as several species of perch, greenling,
sanddab, poacher and sculpin.
Marine Resources:
Potential effects of the project on nearshore biological organisms is
impo~a~t, This could include effects of the project on the recently
emplaced Valley Creek Estuary. There may be opportunities for
mitigation related to improvement of the estuary or the shoreline
north of the facility.
b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the
Site.
~/ ~ There are no threatened or endangered terrestrial or aquatic species
~.~d~ ~h5 on the Site, nor is there any habitat for such species. The marine
A 'd' ~ ~ waters of the Harbor contain several species of salmonids some of
~'Jl ~(;~r. .~ which have stocks listed as Threatened in the Puget Sound area. The
~). o ~.- '~ 02ox''' NOPLE does not list any Threatened stocks specifically known to
~x~,,~. ~~. . [}.~. ..... occur in Port Angeles Harbor (NOPLE2001).
~ )qC;' ,~a i ~, .,,~ The City of Port Angeles prepared a Shoreline Habitat Assessment for
~"~ ,.~ ~r~r~,)j~,\~, ,-' Port Angeles Harbor (Pentec 2001). This study placed the Project
~ ~ ~ ,~-~ 'v Site in Zone 6, which received a salmonid habitat rating of 6.6 for
. ,~)" , x ~" ~\e chinook salmon and 9.4 for coho salmon and bull trout based on a
~O'"~ ~ ~'~ ~ scale of 25. The rating was probably an average of a lower rating for
~,,v~'' ~ the riprapped Site area combined with a higher rating for the newly
restored Valley Creek Estuary. Other sites in the Harbor ranged from
.~/ a low of 0.7 (at the Daishowa Pulpmill) to a high of 15.3 at the end
~,~ ;-,d/ of Ediz Hook (at the Coast Guard Station).
~"~' "~'r~ c. Is the Site part of a migration route? If so, explain.
The Site itself is not part of any migration route. The waters adjacent
to the Site serve as a migration route for salmonids to the Valley
Creek system or to other independent drainages
urban
in
the
Harbor.
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 15
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any:
~/Several possible mitigation measures are available to preserve or
,/
~( .~Fj~'~ ;'~ enhance fish and wildlife. These would include enhancement of the
~.~ .~-~o,v/~~ Valley Creek Estuary (for instance establishment of wetlands)or
enhancement of shoreline resources. The proponent has not proposed
any of these measures at this time since if construction is pursued
carefully, including control of erosion and sedimentation, significant
impacts to these resources are not expected to occur.
ENERGYAND NATURALRESOURCES
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar)
will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe
whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing etc.
The construction phase of the project will consume fuels for vehicles
(gasoline and diesel) and possibly marine craft (barges may be used
to transport the modules used in construction of the hotel). The
( operation of the project will consume electricity for heating and
~l~~ lighting as well as appliances and communications. The electric
1~2g~ energy for the project will be supplied by Port Angeles City Light.
b. Would the project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent
properties? If so, generally describe.
No. No nearby properties appear to utilize solar energy. Shadowing
effects of the building are not expected to strongly affect properties
to the east or south due to distance of the Site from those properties.
c What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans
\\ of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control
energy impacts, if any:
~- -- ~-.~'~tt.&\\ Standard building code features for commercial facilities will be used q¥ in the project. These include insulated windows and properly
~ insulated walls, floors and roofs according to the Uniform Building
Code for commercial structures. Efficient heating systems should be
researched by the proponent in order to reduce both costs and energy
use over the lifetime of the facility.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 ~62~
7. ENVIRON-MENTAL HEALTH
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to
toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste,
that could occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe.
The Port of Port Angeles has conducted a Phase I Study of the Site (to
determine potential threats from hazardous substances) and has
engaged a firm to conduct limited chemical sampling of soils and
cores which were drilled by the geotechnical engineers.
At this time, the Port has not made these studies available for review.
The Port Director, Clyde Boddy indicated in a telephone conversation
that the Phase I report did not reveal any significant problems with
contamination, however, this cannot be independently verified since
these reports are not available.
1. Describe special emergency services that might be required.
During construction there is some chance ofaccidem, requiring
use of emergency medical facilities, as with any construction
project. No significant use of hazardous substances is expected
at the facility.
During operation of the facility, no significant increased risks
are anticipated, although fire is a possible hazard as with any
structure. The City will provide fire protection services for the
facility. Required fire flows will be designed into the project
by a licensed civil engineer and these flows will be approved
by the City according to specifications of the Fire Department.
2. Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health
hazards, if any:
Other than fire flow design (discussed above), no significant
impacts have been identified and thus no mitigation measures
are necessary.
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 17
b. Noise
1. What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your
project (for example: traffic, equipment, operation, other)?
The primary source of noise near the project will be traffic
along Front Street and to a lesser extent along Oak Street.
There will also be some noise effects from log storage
operations at K-Ply. Marine activities in the harbor may also
cause occasional noise from marine engines, fishing boat
unloading at the pier on the property and related activities.
2. What types and levels of noise would be created by or
associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis
(for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate
what hours noise would come from the Site.
The project will cause local noise levels to increase during
construction. Construction hours should be limited to normal
daylight hours (between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM if possible.
During operation, the traffic using the Site will cause increased
noise levels.
3. Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any:
The project will be built with sound insulated building
materials, particularly on the side of the building toward the
industrial property to the west. This should include sound
insulating windows. Except during construction, the project is
not expected to significantly impact nearby receptors, which
are non-residential.
8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE
a. What is the current use of the Site and adjacent properties:
The current use of the Site is an undeveloped parcel. Some parking
occurs on the eastern end of the Site. Adjacent properties are mostly
commercial to the east and south. An industrial property, the K-Ply
Site and other industrial properties lie to the west, across the Valley
Creek Estuary (which is adjacent to the Site on the west).
WT785PAC.ENV/050902
b. Has the Site been used for agriculture? If so, describe.
No. The site has not been used for agriculture, although it was
previously a log storage yard.
c. Describe any structures on the Site.
There are currently no structures on the Site. To the west, the Valley
Creek estuary site has been developed with a viewing platform and a
small pavilion.
d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what?
No. There are no structures which would be demolished. The current
parking area on the east portion of the Site would be pre-empted by
the hotel/conference center and its parking requirements.
e. What is the current zoning classification of the Site?
~t~d'~.,. ,,~ The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan lists the site as a
,/ . ~tb.~ ( ~ _ commercial property within the "Harbor" planning area (City of Port
--,~t [,~ ~ 1b~0-t/ Angeles 2000).
/~ --},,~t.~ f. What is the current Comprehensive Plan designation of the Site?
· ~ >, r~'~ ' The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as "Commercial" and lying
td~q i~ .)~ ~,,Xg2-~ within the Harbor Planning Area (City of Port Angeles 2000).
[e, pX ~i**/ h. Has any part of the Site been classified as an "environmentally
~ ka~ sensitive" area? If so, specify.
~Y X~c/ The Site lies along the Harbor Shoreline and as such is within an
environmentally sensitive area.
i. Approximately how many people would reside or work in the
completed project?.
The hotel/conference center would have an on-site staff of
approximately 60-70 employees. Anticipated time distribution of
these employees would be 55-65 on day shift, 35-45 on swing shift
and 5-10 on graveyard shift. Construction workers are expected to
vary between ten and forty throughout the construction period.
Estimated construction workers each month is shown in Table 1.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 ,~
j. Approximately how many people would the completed project
displace?
None.
k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any:
None necessary.
1. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing
and projected land uses and plans, if any:
The project will be compatible with the land use element of the
Comprehensive Plan (City of Port Angeles 2000). Goals of that Plan
for commercial properties include encouraging new and existing
commercial developments which are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, where adequate City Services are already
available.
The project meets the third goal of the City of Port Angeles Shoreline
Master Program Update (City of Port Angeles 2000). This is to
"Promote a mix of recreational, boating and commercial uses generally
between Cherry Street ROW (extended) and Eunice Street ROW
(extended). Establish this area as an attractive mixed-use
International Gateway district serving visitors and local citizens".
9. HOUSING
a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate
whether high, middle or low-income housing.
None. No long-term housing units will be created by the project.
b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate
whether high, middle or low-income housing.
None. Not applicable.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any:
None. Not applicable.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 20 /Q~
AESTHETICS
a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including
antennas. What is the principal exterior building material(s)
proposed?
The building will ben maximu~t in height (4 stories).
Principal exterior building materials~ill be natural materials (wood
and stone) and designed to blend with the surrounding buildings.
b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
~. Views of the Harbor from Front Street will be restricted or blocked.
.~,,j,,~.~eg_ Views from some other nearby commercial businesses (on Oak and
~ Railroad) will be restricted or blocked. Views from homes on the
4~' bluff (2nd Street) will have a portion of their harbor view restricted.
c Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any:
A lower structure would block less views from the bluff. Any
structure will block views from Front, Oak and Railroad. A lower
structure would have to be larger in horizontal dimensions in order
to contain the same space in rooms and conference center.
11. LIGHT AND GLARE
· -,, ~a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of
~b~*s~v~.~~' '~0,~- ~,. day would it mainly occur?.
0,~/uS' The proposal will produce some light and glare due to exterior
~(~tf'b~'~''~ 3~ ~'~ ~ lighting and cars moving and parking on the Site. Light and glare
impacts will occur mostly in the late evening after dark.
b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or
interfere with views?
Light and glare is not expected to be a safety hazard. Light and glare
will not significantly affect views of the Harbor, although it will
contribute to diminishment of sky views as do all city lights.
WT785PAC.ENV/0509ff2 2~
c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect the
proposal?
Existing light and glare is not expected to affect the proposal.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if
any:
New lighting should be down-directed toward the ground and no
sodium or high intensity lighting should be used. Area lighting is a
very effective substitute and has been shown to provide sufficient
lighting for safety and security purposes when used in a well designed
system.
12. RECREATION
a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the
~ ~j~"~.z,¢ immediate vicinity?
~c~: ¢~'~c~-There is a wide variety of recreational opportunities in the Port
~.~,v t~xa,, o~' ~ Angeles Area The Waterfront Trail currently passes the Site and
,4~'~,c' v 4"'~¢,.C~ o>'_;~building'~ plans' call for it to be routed along the waterfront on the
~%fd~ north s~de of the Hotel/Conference Center. Other recreaUonal
f0~ ~, activities in the area include boating, fishing, hiking, camping,
o3 ~, picnicking and a variety of sports related activities.
b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses?
If so, describe.
The project would not replace any existing recreation. If properly
designed, it could enhance recreational opportunities by providing
additional opportunities on-site and by tieing into the adjacent Valley
Creek Estuary.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation,
including recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or
applicant, if any.
The project applicant should encourage public access and recreational
use of the Site including improvements to the waterfront trail. These
will include trail improvements as well as benches, landscaping and
other amenities.
WT785PAC.ENV/050902 22 ¢~ '~l-~A~/~~
13. HISTORIC AND CULTUP, AL PRESERVATION
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national,
state or local preservation registers known to be on or next to the
Site? If so, generally describe.
No. There are no historical objects or structures known on the Site.
b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic,
archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or
next to the Site.
There are no landmarks or known evidence of historic, archaeologic,
scientific or cultural landmarks on or next to the Site. The harbor
area adjacent to the Site is part of the traditional harvest area of the
Lower Elwha Clallam Tribe. It is possible that during construction,
artifacts could be discovered, however, this is made somewhat
unlikely since the Site has been filled since the period prior to the
1860's when tribal use of the area occurred.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any:
~/ The project site will be reviewed by a Cultural Review Team as
specified in the City's Shoreline Master Program Update. This team
will include the owner, the City and representatives of the Lower
Elwha S'Klallam Tribe. In the event that historical or cultural artifacts
are uncovered during construction, excavation should be halted, the
State Historic Preservation Office should be contacted, and a qualified
archaeologist should remove the artifacts from the area.
14. TRANSPORTATION
Transportation is a major issue. The facility will add many vehicle trips to an area
which is planned to house the Gateway Transportation Center being planned by the
City of Port Angeles. It also is in the area served by the Victoria ferries (MV Coho
and the Victoria Express). This traffic plus normal downtown business traffic and
through traffic is discussed below. In the event that the City deems that significant
impacts seem likely, a more detailed traffic study may be needed.
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the Site, and describe
proposed access to the existing street system. Show on Site Plans, if
any.
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 23
The Site is served by Front Street and Oak Street as well as Railroad
Avenue. Site plans show one access on Oak Street, just south of
Railroad and another access at the west end of the Site onto Front
Street (which is one-way to the west at this location - see Figure 2).
b. Is the Site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the
approximate distance to the nearest transit stop?
The Site is served by a public transit stop on Oak Street. The planned
Gateway Project will result in a centralized public transit stop within
two blocks of the proposed project.
How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How
many would the project eliminate?
,4( ~),-\~/V-v' ~ .__~ ~~ The project will eliminate the 50-100 spaces which are currently used
for all~day parking, mainly for Victoria ferry customers. The project
would create ~n-site parking spaces, utilize 91 additional spaces
~ ~"<~,~ to the north o~UOak Street and 160 additional spaces in the area, the
q/ location of which has not yet been determined. These may be
'v°\~'~ generated by construction of a multi-level parking structure either at
.~ Oak and Front Streets or some other nearby location.
d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements
to existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally
describe (indicate whether public or private).
The project will not create or improve any roads of streets, except for
improvements at the two access polls. Front and Oak Streets already
have sidewalks·
e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail
or air transportation? If so, generally describe.
The project is adjacent to water transportation, particularly the two
ferries which serve the Port Angeles to Victoria crossing. There is no
rail transportation near the project. Air transportation to the area is
provided at William Fairchild International Airport, located on the
west side of Port Angeles· Commercial air transportation is currently
provided by Horizon Airlines.
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the
completed project? If known, indicate when peak volumes would
occur·
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 24 ~
The project will generate up to 900 vehicle trips per day for the hotel
section during maximum occupancy (assuming four to six one way
trips per room per day including an assumed 300 one-way trips for
employees) and up to 1,100 additional vehicle trips per day for the
conference center during maximum conference use. This results in a
total of up to 2,000 one-way vehicle trips per day for the facility.
Actual numbers of vehicle trips will be lower than this, dropping to
roughly 1,000 to 1,500 trips per day during winter months and less
than 1,000 at times when no conferences are occurring (some hotel
use, use of restaurants and a smaller hotel staff during this period).
Conferences are expected to occur all year long and vehicle trips will
therefore fluctuate between the maximum and minimum values
depending on conference use.
Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
The main transportation impacts are expected to be congestion during
periods of high access and egress to and from the facility due to
conferences, hotel use and restaurant use. When these times coincide
with use of these streets by rush hour traffic and/or ferry traffic,
congestion will be at a maximum. Increased congestion can be
expected at the Oak Street stoplight at both Front and First Streets as
well as in the left lane, turn around at Valley Street, where Front and
First merge back to a two-way street.
Currently, Front Street appears to operate in this area at Level of
Service A (LOS A) indicating free flowing signalized traffic with no
substantial delays. Current traffic counts are shown in Table 2. With
the facility, LOS levels at the Oak Street intersections (at both Front
and First Streets) would be expected to decrease to levels B or C
during high occupancy periods, possibly dropping to LOS D (up to 60-
75 percent delays) during peak congestion hours. These estimates are
based on percentage increases and anticipated percentage increases
during peak hours and have not been rigorously calculated.
15. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for
example; fire protection, police protection, health care, schools,
other)? If so, generally describe.
WT785PAC. ENV/050902 2~
The project would result in an incremental increase in need for public
services. Project staff would be expected to be drawn both from local
sources and out of the area. Staff who move to Port Angeles would
utilize all services provided by the City, including schools. Patrons at
the facility would not utilize high levels of local public services, except
for emergency medical services (provided in the City by Olympic
Medical Center). There would, however, be some necessary increase
in police protection and fire protection due to the facility. The City
police department does not anticipate need for any additional officers
due to the facility.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public
services, if any:
The facility will be fitted with an automatic sprinkler system and
other fire protection measures according to the City codes. Down-
directed security lighting will be used on parking areas and near
building entrances.
a. List utilities currently available at the Site (electricity, natural gas,
water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, other).
All City utilities are presently available at the Site, including
electricity, water, sewer, refuse collection, telephone and
telecommunications. The project will result in an incremental
increased use of these facilities. The City does not anticipate any
problems with capacity for any of these utilities.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility
providing the service, and the general construction activities on the
Site or in the immediate vicinity which might be needed.
Utilities are available along Front and Oak streets. Utilities will be
brought into the Site during the normal construction period. Utility
lines will be buried prior to final grading of the Site.

4.0 DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 DISCUSSION
The project as currently designed does not appear to generate any impacts which can not
be mitigated. The parking issue has not yet been fully resolved between the developer and
the City. The increase in traffic will add congestion to an area which experiences periodic
congestion from a combination of rush hour traffic, ferry traffic and bus traffic. This may
increase with completion of the Gateway Center being planned by the City and will
increase during the summer season due to general traffic increases coupled with increased
ferry traffic. Fish and wildlife agencies have not yet commented on the proposal, but are
expected to review this Environmental Assessment.
4.2 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Some aspects of the project have not yet gone through final design. It is recommended
that the City determine whether this would affect timing of the threshold determination.

Dear Mr. Collins:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the determination of non-significance for the proposed Port
Angeles Hotel and Conference Center construction, located west of Oak Street, north of Front Street, and
east of Valley Creek Estuary Site, as proposed by Randal Ehm. We reviewed the environmental
checklist and have the following comments:
Corps of Engineers:
The proposed new stormwater outfall may require a 401 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers and a
401 from Ecology.
Shorelands:
For shoreline permitting, accurate site plans ~vill need to meet the requirements of WAC 173-27-180. We
note the DNS document we reviewed did not include any site plans or cross section views, and there are
differing statements on the height (ranging from 42' to 66' ) of the proposed structure(s). "Mitigation
measures" are referred to, but those were not included with the checklist.
Considering the significant scale and potential long-term impacts of this project on shoreline resources
and ecology, ~ve advise coordination in advance with Ecology field staff; especially on matters of public
access, riparian habitat enhancement, and avoidance of neighboring residential view impairments, to
ensure that all requirements have been met in advance of permit approval at the local level, and so to
avoid unnecessary delays thereafter."
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments, please call Ms. Helen Pressley
with the Shorelands and Environmental Assistance Program/Permits at (360) 407-6926, and/or Mr.
Jeff Stewart with the Shorelands and Environmetnal Assistance Prograln/Shorelands at (360) 407-
