EXHIBIT B
GCIA Employment Center
Planned Action Ordinanc� Mitigation Document
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires environmental review for project and non-
project proposals that may have adverse impacts on the environment.
In order to meet SEPA requirements, Grant County issued the Draft GCIA Employment Center
; Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement on June 26, 2015, and the final Environmental
Impact Statement on_, 2015.The Draft Environmental Impact Statement and the Final
, Environmental Impact Statement are reverenced collectively herein as the "EIS".The EIS has
identified significant impacts that would occur with the future development of the Planned
Action area,togetlier with a number of possible measures to mitigate those significant impacts.
This Mitigation Document lists the specific mitigation measures identified in the EIS, based upon
the identified significant impacts.The EIS considers potential impacts associated with: Earth,
, Water Resource5, Plants and Animals, Environmental Health, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gases
(GHGs.), Noise, Land Use/Relationship to Plans and Policies, Aesthetics/Light and Glare, Historic
and Cultural Resources,Transportation, Public Services and Utilities.
The mitigation measures would apply to future development proposals which are consistent
with the EIS and located within the Planned Action area (see Exhibit A). Please see the Draft and
Final EIS for complete text associated with each element of the environment.
Earth
Re+quired/Proposed Mitipation Measures
The following required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential earth-
related impacts that could result from the construction and long-term use of Alternatives 1
or2.
� Prior to and During Construction
• Site-specific subsurface investigations and geotechnical analyses will be performed
as part of design and permitting of infrastructure and buildings associated with
future site development.
' • During construction,TESC measures and BMPs will be employed to control erosion.
These measures could include the following:
o Limit areas oF exposure;
o Schedule earthwori<during drier times of the year;
o Retain vegetation where possible;
o Seed or plant appropriate vegetation on exposed areas as soon as
earthworl< is completed;
o Route surface water through temporary drainage channels around and
away from disturbed soils or exposed slopes;
N;�ADMINISTRATION�Dhooper�PLanned ActionElS�Grant County International Airport�Grant
County International Airport Employment Center Ordinance 032216.do...Final.doc 11
i
i o Intercept and drain water from any surface seeps, if encountered;
o Use silt fences, temporary sedimentation ponds, or other suitable
, sedimentation control devices to collect and.retain eroded material;
� o Cover exposed soil stockpiles and exposed slopes with plastic sheeting, as
appropriate;
, o Use straw mulch an.d erosion control matting to stabilize graded areas and
reduce erosion an.d runoff impacts to slopes, where appropriate;
o Incorporate contract provisions allowing temporary cessation of worl<under
certain, limited c'ircumstances, if weather conditions warrant; and
1 o Construct stabilized construction entrances with rocl< pads or trucl<washing
� stations to limit excess soil materials from leaving the site. During the
appropriate dry seasons,wherever possible, soils excavated from the site
would be reused as on-site structural fill.
• Standard construction measures, such properly designed and installed temporary
excavation shoring systems, and properly constructed open excavations, will be
used to reduce the potential for adverse excavation impacts.
, • Any necessary fill will be designed to control potential settlement impacts at
� adjacent structures/surfaces. As necessary, adjacent structures/surfaces will be
monitored during construction to verify that no adverse settlement occurs.
, . • If drilled shafts are used to support buildings, they will include casing to control
caving soils. As necessary, adjacent structures/surfaces will be monitored to verify
that no adverse settlement and vibrations occur.
, • The appropriate management of contaminated soils that could be disturbed and
, groundwater that could be encountered during redevelopment of the site will be
� addressed through the cleanup/remediation process and by institutional control
� requirements overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (see Draft EIS
� Section 3.5, Environmental Health, for details).
• Buildings and infrastructure will be designed in accordance with the most current
version of the International Building Code (IBC) to address potential life safety
impacts from seismic events.
During Operations
• A permanent stormwater control s.ystem will be installed in accordance with the
Washington State Department of Ecology(Ecology)Stormwater Management
Manual for Eastern Washington to avoid long-term erosion, sedimentation and
, pollutant impacts on off-site water resources.

: Required/Proposed Mitipation Measures
� The following required/proposed mitiga.tion measures will address the potential noise _
impacts that could.result from the assumed construction and long-term use under
Alternatives 1 or 2.
Prior to and Durinq Construction
• Nighttime construction will not be allowed without approval from the local agencies
(City of Moses Lake or Grant County). Local regulations do not regulate noise from
daytime construction activities. Regardless, based on site-specific considerations at
the time of construction permit review, construction contractors could be required
to implement noise control plans for construction activities in the site area for
- daytime activities.
• As appropriate, construction noise will be reduced by using enclosures or walls to
surround noisy stationary equipment, installing mufflers on engines, substituting
quieter equipment or construction methods, minimizing time of operation and
' locating equipment as far as practical from sensitive receivers. To reduce
: construction noise at nearby receivers,the following mitigation measures could be
incorporated into construction plans and contractor specifications.
o Locate stationary equipment away from receiving properties;
N:�ADMINISTRATION�Dhooper�PLanned ActionE/S�Grant County International Airport�Grant
County International Airport Employment Center Ordinance 032216,do,..Final.doc 16
o Erect portable noise barriers around loud stationary equipment located
near sensitive receivers;
o Limit construction activities to between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM on weel<days
and between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekends and holidays to avoid
sensitive receptors during nighttime hours;
o Turn off idling construction equipment; and,
o Require contractors to rigorously maintain all equipment.
During Operations
• Industrial Noise Sources—Future industrial operation will be required to comply
with the applicable noise regulations which establish permissible noise levels from
industrial noise sources at receiving off-site properties.
• Traffic Noise Sources—Development exceeding approximately 94 percent of
assumed full development under Alternative 1 and exceeding 85 percent of
assumed full devefopment under Alternative 2, will require mitigation to limit
increased traffic noise on Randolph Road from significantly impacting Columbia
Basin Secondary School. Mitigation measures could include:
o Limiting traffic on Randolph Road to a level not exceeding 94 percent of
total assumed trips under Alternative 1 and 85 percent of total assumed
trips under Alternative 2; or,
o Construction of a noise barrier between the school and Randolph Road as
the level of traffic on Randolph Road approaches 94 percent of total
assumed trips under Alternative 1 and 85 percent of total assumed trips
under Alternative 2.

Utiliti�es
Required/Proposed Mitipation Measure�
The following required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential utility
impacts associated with development of the GCIA Employment Center site under
Aiternatives 1 and 2.
Water
• The Larson zone of the City of Moses Lake water system has adequate capacity to
accommodate a level of development between Phase 1 and Phase 2 under
, Alternative 1 (approximately 3 million sq. ft.)and a level of development between
Phase 2 and Phase 3 under Alternative 2 (approximately 5 million sq.ft.), including a
, two percent background growth factor. However, additional water system wells will
need to be drilled to serve full buiid-out.of Alternative 1, and.will likely be necessary
for full build-out of Alternative 2 (Alternative 2 will use most of the existing capacity
of the Larson zone).
• The City will monitor water demand by screening development applications to
determine anticipated generation rates for dev.elopment.The overall City system is
proj.ected to have capacity to meet the Larson zone water needs and will provide a
supply buffer as plans are developed for well drilling and expansion of the Larson
zone supply and distribution system once development demand approaches system
capacity.

Sanitarv Sewer
+ The City of Moses Lake Larson Treatment Plant has capacity to treat a level of
assumed development between Phase 2 and Phase 3 underAlternative 1
(approximately five million sq.ft.) and an assumed level of site development
between Phase 1 and Phase 2 under Alternative 2 (approximately 3.5 million sq.ft.),
including a two percent background growth factor. However, the City will require an
increase in treatment capacity to accommodate flows associated with full build-out
of both alternatives.
• The City will monitor the sewage treatment capacity by screening development
applications to determine anticipated sewage generation rates for.the proposed
development.The City will monitor projected incoming flows through the screening
: process and begin plans for expansion when the facility reaches 80 percent capacity,
, which is anticipated to occur around 2024 (see Draft EIS Figure 3.12-3).
• The Port of Moses Lake industrial wastewater treatment system has some capacity
to treat additional volumes of industrial wastewater.The Port is presently designing
an expansion of the land application system that is projected to meet the projected
demands of subscribed users, and also meet the demands projected for Phase 1 of
Alternative 2. However, additional expansion of the system beyond the current
, planned expansion will be required to fully accommodate Phase 1 of Alternative 1
and#ull build-out of both Alternatives 1 and 2.
Electrical
• GCPUD can accommodate incremental new development with power demand loads
that total less than 5 MW. However, new industries moving into the site that have
power demands in excess of 5 MWs will be required to enter into a "Facility Cost
� Contribution" arrangement with GCPUD,the proceeds of which are us�d to expand
the electrical distribution system infrastructure to the extent required to serve the
industry contributo.r. GCPUD has indicated that a new substation will have the
capacity to serve an approximately 78 MW electrical load, which is large enough to
accommodate build-out under Alternatives 1 and 2.

� GCIA Employment Center Planned Action
' Modified SEPA Environmental Checklist
Purpose of Checklist:
, On , 2015,Grant County adopted Ordinance_,establishing a Planned Action designation for the Grant County
International Airport(GCIA) Employment Center, pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA), Environmental review
for the GCIA Employment Center project was conducted through preparation of a Pianned Action EIS(Draft EIS dated June 26,
, 2015 and Final EIS dated , 2015).
WAC 197-11-172 establishes the procedures for project-level review within the Planned Action area,stating that "Review of a
; project proposed as a Planned ActiOn is intended to be simpler and more focused than for other projects."Verification that
probable significant impacts of the proposed proje.ct have been adequately addressed in the EIS is estabiished through review
of an environmental checl<list.The Second Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (2ESSB)6406, as adopted durir�g the 2012
Washington State legislative session, establishes that a county may utilize a modified checklist to determine consistency with a
j Planned Action ordinance.Grant County has adopted this modified checklist as part of the GCIA Employment Center Planned
Action ordinance.
: Instructions forApplicants:
' This environmental checklist asl<s you to describe basic information.about your proposal. Answer the questions briefly,with the
' most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully,

; plans, or the GCIA Employment Center EIS without the need to hire experts. If you do not know the answer,or if a question
� does not apply t�your proposal,write"do not I<now" or"does not apply." Staff will review and comment on specific items of
this checl<list, as appropriate.
�' Questions about environmental elements that were analyzed in the GCIA Employment Center EIS ask for confirmation as to
' whether the proposed project is consistent with analysis in the EIS. In order to respond to these questions,the EIS is available
online at http://www.grantcountvwa.�ov/Plannin�/or at Grant County Planning Department, 264 West Division Avenue, Ephrata,
