RELEVANT ISSUES) This Environmental Assessment has been prepared to satisfy requirements of both the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) of the State of Washington, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The document will be reviewed by the City of Port Angeles, the Lead Agency under SEPA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Lead Agency under NEPA. All potential issues have been addressed in preparation of this document. The Project will involve the creation of seven -eight residential dwelling units within an area zoned and planned for residential development. No major issues of potential impact were identified, however, all potential issues are addressed in this document. 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION -PROPOSED ACTION The proposal is for the construction of seven or eight residential units on seven city lots adjacent to a four-plex developed and owned by the Housing Authority. The Project location is shown in Figures 1 and 2. Figure 3 shows the Site location relative to nearby streets. It is located immediately east of the intersection of South Vine Street and East Lopez Avenue in Port Angeles, Washington. The Project is located on Parcel # 501105 as shown in Figure 4. Figure 5 shows the seven city lots involved in the Project. The Housing Authority intends to build five single family residences on lots 6-10 and a tri- plex on lots 11,12 and part of lot 13, provided that a boundary line adjustment is approved on the lot with the existing four-plex owned by the Housing Authority. The home -sites will be developed and the homes built by the Housing Authority. Some labor may be provided by prospective homeowners. South Vine Street will be paved, and utilities and other requirements for access and lot development, will be provided by the Housing Authority. VJW939ELEA.

Site Map Showing Proposed Home Sites Westech Company 2006 Source: Housing Authority of the County of Clallam 2006 2.0 ALTERNATIVES, INCLUDING THE PROPOSED ACTION 2.1 NO ACTION ALTERNATIVE The No Action Alternative will result in the status quo being maintained on these properties, at least for the near term. No residences will be built and the Housing Authority will not be able to develop affordable residential housing on this Site in accordance with its mandate. Eventually the property may be sold for some other development. 2.2 PROPOSED ACTION ALTERNATIVE The proposed Alternative is to develop either seven or eight single family residences or five single family residences and a tri-plex on the property. If City approval is received — for a boundary line adjustment and construction of a tri-plex on lots 11-13, the five residences will be built on lots 6-10 in addition to the tri-plex. If the boundary line adjustment and approval of the tri-plex is not received, then seven single family — residences will be constructed on lots 6-12. This alternative will result in the creation of affordable housing on these lots and partial fulfillment of the need for such housing in Port Angeles. VWV939ELEA. RPT/012406/mas 8 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 3.1 EARTH RESOURCES The Site is located in an area which slopes gently downward to the north. Elevation of the Site is 230-240 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Site location is shown in Figures 1-5. Site photographs are shown in Appendix A. Other relevant maps and aerial photographs are shown in Appendix B. Geology The Site geology consists of glacial deposits from the Vashon glaciation designated as Vashon Drift. These are conglomerate mixtures of sand, gravel, silt and underlying till formed during the Pleistocene and often characterized by hummocky topography (Schasse 2003). Soils Soils mapped by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service indicate that the Site is characterized by Clallam-Hoypus gravelly sandy loams (SCS 1987). These soils are moderately deep to very deep and moderately to excessively well drained. The soil _ profile is typically 6 inches of dark brown gravelly sandy loam, underlain by 6-12 inches of brown very gravelly sandy loam. Compact glacial till underlies these soils at a depth of 28 inches. Included in this unit are small areas of Catly, Dick and McKenna soils. Soils on the Site were observed by drilling to a depth of approximately 18-24 inches with a soil augur. On-site soils were found to match the general description of Clallam- Hoypus soils as mapped by SCS. Two test pits were checked. The first test pit was located in the southern half of the property and corresponded to Clallam soils, probably Clallam gravelly sandy loam. The other test pit, drilled at the northern end of the property was darker in coloration with less gravel and more silty sand. This soil could be described as a mixture of McKenna and Clallam soils. Both test pits showed minor variation in color and texture with increasing depth. Soil erosion for Clallam-Hoypus soils is listed as slight by SCS (SCS 1987). Permeability of the soils are moderate above the glacial till and very slow through the till layer. Hoypus soils are more excessively drained, having formed in glacial outwash. W W939ELEA. R PT/012406/mas 9 Seismic Hazard The North Olympic Peninsula is characterized as a seismic zone with moderate activity, mostly comprised of deep, relatively low magnitude earthquakes. Recent earthquakes near Port Angeles have been rated at 3.0 or less on the Richter Scale. The largest recent earthquake in the general Puget Sound area was the "Nisqually Earthquake" which occurred on February 28, 2001 and was centered near Olympia, Washington. That quake was rated as 6.8 on the Richter Scale. There are several faults, synclines and anticlines along the Olympic Mountain foothills. The nearest of these occur about 2.0 miles south of the Project Site. The Project is located at an elevation of approximately 300 feet above msl. It is therefore beyond potential tsunami zones and does not appear to have potential for soil liquefaction due to the underlying till. 3.2 AIR RESOURCES Climate The climate at the Site is characterized by moderate temperatures and weather patterns due to the presence of the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north. Weather generally includes wet mild winters, cool and wet autumn and spring seasons and mild and dry summers. Mean monthly temperatures range from 5-17 degrees Celsius (41 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit). Air Qualitv Air quality near the Project Site is generally excellent (Olympic Region Clean Air Agency). Prevailing winds from the southwest generally clear polluted air quickly, particularly during storms. Data from an air monitoring station in west Port Angeles indicates that particulate matter (PM2.5) is generally within state and federal standards, however, there are periods of exceedance which may last from one to several days during inversion events (ORCAA 2005). 3.3 WATER RESOURCES There are no water resources on the Site. The Project is not within the 200 foot Coastal Zone Management boundary for any waterbody (see Appendix C). The nearest water resources are Peabody Creek, located approximately 0.5 miles to the east, Valley Creek located nearly 1.0 miles to the west and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, located about _ 1.5 miles to the north. Storm -water does flow across the Site from south to north. This storm -water subsequently enters storm drains along Lauridsen Street. The Project is not in any designated flood zone. A flood zone map of the area is shown in Appendix B. VVW939ELEA. RPT/012406/mas 10 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Veaetation The Site is characterized by upland field vegetation. A few deciduous trees are present (alder and willow). Grasses include ryegrass, orchard -grass and fescue. Shrub species include Himalayan blackberry, nootka rose, snowberry and bracken fern. While there are small patches of vegetation which grow in wet conditions, the property is classified as an upland site (see the Critical Areas Map in Appendix B). Fish and Wildlife The Site does not provide significant habitat for wildlife species. The property is in the center of an area of residential development, roughly 0.5 miles from open areas which provide for wildlife use. Occasionally larger mammals such as deer or raccoon may use the Site for forage and small mammals such as mice and voles are likely present. No fish or shellfish use the Site since there are no water resources present. Threatened or Endangered Species Maps provided by the Priority Habitats and Species Office of Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW 2005) were reviewed to determine whether there were any known listed sensitive, threatened or endangered state or federal species present on the Site or vicinity. Those maps showed no sensitive, threatened or endangered species within 1.0 miles of the Site. Resident fish presence is shown in Peabody and Valley Creeks. These creeks are located 0.5 miles and 1.0 miles from the Site respectively. On-site observations by Dr. Bradford Shea showed no indication of any threatened or endangered species on or near the Site. 3.5 ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES There are no known energy sources or natural resources on or under the Site. There are no known natural resources within 1.0 miles of the Site. 3.6 NOISE, LIGHT AND GLARE Noise at the Site is typical of a quiet residential neighborhood. Daytime noise levels probably fluctuate between 40 and 70 decibels (d BA) at the Site based on observations. The nearest significant traffic noise is on Lauridsen Boulevard, roughly two blocks to the north of the Site. A Noise Abatement Map is shown in Appendix B. There is presently no significant light or glare at the Site. There is street and residential lighting on East Lopez Avenue to the west and normal residential lighting associated with the four-plex adjacent to the Site. vWv939ELEA. RPT/012406/mas 11 3.7 VISUAL RESOURCES The Site has limited visual resources. It is an open field within a residential area. The Olympic Mountains are visible to the south. The Site does not have sufficient elevation for views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Surrounding properties are residential in nature. Photographs of the Site and surrounding properties are shown in Appendix A. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT 3.8 LAND USE The Site is located within an area zoned for single family residential development. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan lists the Site as low density residential property (up to 7 lots per acre) within the South Central planning area (City of Port Angeles 2005). Land use in the area is primarily single family residential development on small lots. There are some multiple family structures nearby including a four-plex adjacent to the Site. 3.9 POPULATION AND HOUSING The City of Port Angeles has a current population of approximately 18,500 persons and approximately 8,800 housing units (a ratio of 2.1 to 1) (Clallam networks 2004.) The seven lots on the Project Site (lots 6-12) do not currently contain any population or provide any housing. An adjacent four-plex provides housing for four families on three lots. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan (2005) states that "The City recognizes the extreme importance of available clean, safe and affordable housing in the community." The Comprehensive Plan further states that a Needs Assessment Study was conducted for the Port Angeles area which indicated that goals and policies should strive to improve the quality, affordability and availability of housing for all segments of the community. Applicable goals, policies and objectives set out in the Comprehensive Plan which pertain to the proposed project include: Policy 5A — The City should plan for sufficient urban services to support future housing in a variety of allowable densities Policy 7A — The City should promote acceptance of low and moderate income housing through public information programs W W939ELEA. R PT/012406/mas 12 Policy 4B — The City should invite the Clallam Housing Authority to participate in a variety of affordable housing opportunities Policy 6B — Adequate low and moderate income housing opportunities should be provided within the Port Angeles Planning Area. Policy 7B — The City should support affordable housing by developing utility cost savings programs These goals and policies reflect the City's acknowledgement of the established need for affordable housing within the City of Port Angeles. 3.10 ECONOMICS The Housing Authority of Clallam County proposes to construct affordable housing on seven lots on East Lopez Avenue east of South Vine Street. The units will increase the available affordable housing within the City of Port Angeles by seven or eight units. Residents are expected to be working families which can be anticipated to generate additional economic growth within the City (City of Port Angeles 2005). 3.11 SOCIAL There is no population and hence no social aspect to the property prior to project development. 3.12 CULTURAL RESOURCES No cultural resources are known on or within 0.5 miles of the Site. HUD has consulted with the State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) regarding cultural or historic _ resources. Mr. Robert Whitlam at SHPO communicated with Ms. Sara Jensen of HUD and indicated that the Project will have no effect on cultural resources (Jensen 2006). In the event that any cultural artifacts are uncovered during construction, the applicant will immediately cease construction activities and will contact SHPO for guidance. 3.13 TRANSPORTATION The Project Site is located on a partially developed section of South Vine Street (gravel road) and lies at the east end of a segment of East Lopez Avenue. South Vine Street will be improved to City Standards as specified by an agreement to be entered into between the Housing Authority and the City. Utilities will be brought to the property from Lopez Avenue, from the existing adjacent four-plex or other point of origin agreed to by the City. WW939ELEA.RPT/012406/mas 13 South Vine Street currently has little or no traffic at the Project Site. The Site is located two blocks from Lauridsen Boulevard, a major arterial in Port Angeles. The Project is expected to add seven or eight single family households, resulting in 40-80 vehicle trips per day. Public transportation (bus) is available on Lauridsen Boulevard, approximately three blocks from the Project Site. There is no train service on the Olympic Peninsula. The nearest airport is William Fairchild International Airport located approximately 2.5 miles west-northwest of the Project Site. 3.14 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH The Site does not appear to have been subjected to any contamination or dumping. The Site is an open field. There are no signs of soil discoloration or vegetative stress which might indicate the presence of toxic chemicals. Mr. Ken Dubuc, Port Angeles Fire Department Fire Marshal conducted a visual inspection of the property, documented in a letter of January 18, 2006 (PAFD 2006) (see Appendix C). Mr. Dubuc indicates that the inspection "did not reveal the presence of any sort of explosive or fire prone materials on the Site". Westech's site inspection also did not reveal the presence of any visible hazardous substances on the Site. There is no evidence of Toxic, Hazardous or Radioactive Materials on the Site (See form in Appendix C). 3.15 PUBLIC SERVICES The Site is served by public services provided by the City of Port Angeles. This includes fire protection by the Port Angeles Fire Department, law enforcement _ protection by the Port Angeles Police Department and the availability of other City services including roads and utilities. The nearest schools are Jefferson Elementary School, Franklin Elementary School, Stevens Middle School and Port Angles High School, all of which (except for Stevens) are within about 1.0 miles of the Site (Stevens is about 1.25 miles west). Medical services are provided by Clallam County Health Department, by a variety of local clinics and by Olympic Medical Center. These _ services are also generally located within 1.5 miles of the Site. 3.16 UTILITIES The City of Port Angeles provides utilities within the Project area. Utilities will be run to the Site including electrical power, water, sewer, telephone and other communications services. These utilities will be extended to the Site as per an agreement between the Housing Authority and the City of Port Angeles. There are no known capacity problems from extending local utilities to the Site. W W 939 ELEA. RPT/012406/mas 14 3.17 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE The Project will be designed to benefit low and middle income families. The Housing Authority is bound by state and federal statutes to provide housing without regard to race, ethnicity or national origin. W W939ELEA. RPT/012406/mas 15 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES (Potential Impacts and Mitigation) 4.1 EARTH RESOURCES Impacts The Site is located on a gently sloped, well consolidated area of surface soils and subsurface geological strata. There is no evidence of erosion or surface instability. Risk of earthquake is low, however, local building codes and earthquake standards should be adhered to. There appears to be no risk of tsunami and insignificant risk of liquefaction. Mitigation No mitigation measures are anticipated to be necessary. If the Project is constructed between November 1 and April 1 (winter months—rainy season), standard erosion control measures should be in place prior to grading. These may include use of silt fences, straw bales, jute netting or other materials necessary to stabilize soils and prevent silt or sediments from reaching downhill properties or city storm -drains. Such measures should be utilized during dry months if found to be necessary. 4.2 AIR RESOURCES Impacts The Site is within an air attainment area with only minor violations of particulate concentrations during stagnation episodes. Construction vehicles should comply with all state emission standards. The Project is not expected to pose any significant threat to air pollution during construction or following occupancy by residents. Mitigation No impacts are anticipated to be necessary. If the Project is built during a dry period, periodic watering with a water truck may be necessary to reduce dust. 4.3 WATER RESOURCES Impacts No water resources are present on the Site. Storm -water present on the Site from direct rainfall or runoff will drain along the improved South Vine Street right-of-way to W W939ELEA. RPT/012406/mas 16 city storm drains on Lauridsen Boulevard. The nearest water -body, Peabody Creek will not be affected by runoff from the Project. The Project is not mapped in any flood zone (see Appendix B). The Project is not mapped as containing regulatory wetlands by Clallam County. On-site investigation showed some small wet areas (partially due to the time of year), but no regulatory wetlands were found on the Site (see Appendix B). The Project is not within the Coastal Zone (see Appendix C). Mitigation No mitigation is necessary. 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Impacts The Project will result in removal of most of the on-site vegetation. This vegetation presently provides only marginal wildlife habitat within a residentially developed area. The alteration in habitat is judged to be insignificant. No threatened or endangered species are known to exist within the Project area. Mitigation No mitigation is necessary. 4.5 ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES Impacts Minor and insignificant amounts of energy will be utilized to construct the single family residences (and the tri-plex, if built). Electrical energy and fossil fuels will be used in standard amounts for this type of construction. Mitigation No mitigation is necessary. 4.6 NOISE, LIGHT AND GLARE Impacts Addition of 7-8 residences will increase noise in the area incrementally. Additional sounds of vehicles and human use is expected to increase sound levels by 2-3 decibels at nearby receptor points (neighboring residences). It is not anticipated that these small VNN939ELEA. R PT/012406/mas 17 increases will result in any significant or frequent violation of state noise standards. Sound levels may increase 3-5 decibels during construction, however, construction noise is exempt from state standards and city and county noise ordinances (unless between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM). Mitigation Construction should be carried out only during daylight hours (6:00 AM to 10:00 PM). Lighting at the Site should be downward directed and avoid high intensity lighting to minimize potential affects of light and glare on neighboring properties. No other mitigation is necessary. 4.7 VISUAL RESOURCES Impacts Impacts to visual resources is anticipated to be minor. The only potential impact is some screening of views from neighboring residences located north of the Project. These residents (including those in the adjacent four-plex) may experience some screening of view of the Olympic Mountains from project homes. These homes will be limited in height to two stories, thereby minimizing disturbance of views. Mitigation The Project should conform with city height requirements and be limited to two stories in height to minimize interference with neighboring view sheds. 4.8 LAND USE Impacts The Project is not expected to create any significant land use impacts. The area is zoned for single family residential development and the Comprehensive Plan specifies the area as low density residential (maximum 7 units per acre) (City of Port Angeles 2005). The Project is in conformance with those requirements. The Project also meets the applicable goals in the Comprehensive Plan for the City to provide adequate affordable housing. Mitigation No Mitigation measures are required. requirements. VVW939E LEA. RPT/012406/mas 18 Home sites should meet City setback 4.9 POPULATION AND HOUSING Impacts The Project is expected to add 15-30 new residents within seven or eight single family housing units. (The number of new residents actually residing on the Site will depend on family size.) Nearly half of these new residents may be children below the age of 18. This increase in population and housing is an incremental increase included within the City's Comprehensive Plan. Mitigation The impacts are considered to be insignificant and mitigation is not necessary. 4.10 ECONOMICS Impacts The Project will help create and maintain construction jobs in Port Angeles during the construction phase. The Project will also result in affordable housing for new residents who will work in Port Angeles and vicinity and thereby add to the area's economy. Mitigation The impacts are positive and therefore require no mitigation. 4.11 SOCIAL Impacts The Project will have positive social impacts by providing affordable housing to working families. Mitigation Since the impacts are positive, no mitigation will be necessary. VNW939ELEA. RPT/012406/mas 19 _ 4.12 CULTURAL RESOURCES Impacts The Department of Housing and Urban Development has received a letter from Mr. Robert Whitlam of the State Historic Preservation Office indicating that the Project is not expected to impact cultural or historic resources (Jensen 2006). Mitigation No impacts are anticipated at this time. Therefore no mitigation is required. However, if artifacts or other evidence of cultural or historic activity is found during construction, construction activities should be halted immediately and the State Historic Preservation Office should be notified. 4.13 TRANSPORTATION Impacts The seven -eight residences to be added are anticipated to add up to 40-80 one-way vehicle trips per day. The actual number may be considerably lower considering the location of the Project within 1.0 miles of shopping and many city services. This level of impact is not expected to significantly affect nearby residences nor traffic flow on Lauridsen Boulevard or other nearby arterials. Mitigation Residents should be encouraged to utilize available nearby public transportation to the extent possible. 4.14 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Impacts The Project will not have any significant effects on environmental health. Some hazardous substances (including oil and gasoline) will be used during construction activities. Construction vehicles used should be well maintained and no maintenance (except emergency maintenance) should be performed on the Site. Residents should be encouraged to recycle hazardous materials (e.g., used oil) and to minimize use of household hazardous materials. Mitigation No mitigation measures are necessary. VVW939ELEA.RPT/012406/mas 20 4.15 PUBLIC SERVICES Impacts The Project will cause incremental increases in need for police and fire protection. It will also increase use of nearby medical facilities. Approximately 8-15 additional school age children may occupy the homes on the Site. These children will be dispersed across two elementary schools and a middle and high school. Impacts are therefore not judged to be significant. Mitigation No mitigation measures appear to be necessary since public services have the capability to handle these relatively small increases. 4.16 UTILITIES Impacts The Project will result in increased use of electricity, water, sewer capacity, telephone and other communications services. These increases will be incremental. There is no known capacity problem with these services in Port Angeles. Mitigation There will be no mitigation necessary for the minor utility impacts generated by the Project. 4.17 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE Impacts The Project is anticipated to generate affordable single family housing. The Housing Authority will allocate this housing without regard to race, ethnicity or national origin. This is anticipated to maintain or improve environmental justice. Mitigation Project impacts are expected to be positive. No mitigation is necessary. WW939ELEA.RPT/012406/mas 21 5.0 CUMULATIVE AND LONG-TERM AFFECTS 5.1 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Several incremental developments have been built by the Housing Authority in nearby areas. This Project will add additional affordable housing to those developments. This is anticipated to be a positive cumulative impact. 5.2 UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE EFFECTS No unavoidable adverse effects are anticipated from the Project. Neighboring views may be interfered with to a minor extent, but residences will be limited to two stories in height and will conform to all City codes regarding building height. 5.3 SHORT-TERM USES AND LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY The Project will result in a long-term productive residential site. The City has determined that affordable housing is a desirable and beneficial use for land within the city core. 5.4 IRREVERSIBLE OR IRRETRIEVABLE COMMITMENT OF RESOURCES The Project will result in commitment of energy and materials necessary to build the housing units. This can be considered to be a community investment and a positive impact. 5.5 DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS The Project will create insignificant direct effects on surface soils, biological habitat, noise, population and housing, transportation, public services and utilities. No significant indirect effects are anticipated. 5.6 COMPARISON OF ALTERNATIVES The No Action alternative would not accomplish the objectives of the Housing Authority. It would also not fulfill the policy objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Both of the proposed sub -alternatives essentially have the same impacts and have been analyzed as one alternative (either seven single family homes or five single family WW939ELEA.RPT/012406/mas 22 _ homes and a tri-plex). Both sub -alternatives fulfill the goals of the Housing Authority and the City of Port Angeles. 5.7 OTHER ISSUES There do not appear to be any other significant issues relating to potential cumulative impacts.

Certain past and present uses such as the following signal concerns of possible contamination and require a more detailed review: gasoline stations, vehicle repair shops, car dealerships, garages, depots, warehouses, commercial printing facilities, industrial or commercial warehouses, dry cleaners, photo developing laboratories, hospitals, junkyard or landfills, waste treatment, storage disposal, processing or recycling facilities, agricultural/farming operations (including hog and poultry operations) and _ tanneries. • Identify adjoining properties in the surrounding area for evidence of any facilities as described above. • Research Federal, State and local records about possible toxins and hazards at the site. — ❑ Yes to any of the above questions: PROCEED to #4 ® No to all questions: The toxic chemicals and radioactive materials review is complete, unless there are other hazards that could affect the health and safety of occupants. Record your determination on the Statutory Worksheet and maintain appropriate documentation in the ERR. 4. Could nearby toxic, hazardous or radioactive substances affect the health and safety of project occupants or conflict with the intended utilization of the property? Gather all pertinent information concerning any on-site and nearby toxic hazards. Consider, at a minimum, each of the areas identified in Question 3. Consider if your ASTM Phase 1 or equivalent analysis identifies any –' Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs)? If appropriate and/or required, obtain independent professional reviews of the site (e.g., an ASTM Phase 2 or equivalent analysis). Contact appropriate Federal, State and Local resources for assistance in assessing exposure to health hazards. ❑ Yes: PROCEED to #5. ® No: The toxic chemicals and radioactive materials review is complete, unless there are other hazards that could affect the health and safety of occupants. Record your determination that there are no hazards that could affect the safety of occupants or impact the intended use of the project and maintain appropriate documentation in the ERR. 5. Can the adverse environmental condition be mitigated? ❑ Yes: Mitigate according to the requirements of the appropriate Federal, State or local oversight agency. Record your determination that there are no hazards that could affect the safety of occupants or impact the intended use of the project and maintain appropriate documentation in the ERR. HUD assistance should be conditioned on completion of appropriate mitigation. Deny HUD assistance if, after mitigation, the property is still determined to be unsafe or unhealthy. For more details please refer to HUD's "Choosing an Environmentally `Safe' Site." ❑ No: Do not provide HUD assistance for the project at this site. 2 of 2 HUD Seattle Region Environmental Office — May 2005 CERTIFICATION OF CONSISTENCY WITH WASHINGTON'S COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED ACTIVITIES Federal Application Number: Not applicable Applicant: Housing Authority of the County of Clallam Project Description: Construction of a triplex and five single family homes at 501 E.
