Keeping The Rural Area Rural

IUP garages/buildings project

Soos Creek Action Response has reviewed the SEPA documentation provided you by Pacific Raceways and provides the following comments.  Generally we found the documentation to be lacking in sufficient detail and substance in most areas important to prevent impacts upon neighbors and environment.  These comments should be taken in the spirit of helping the IUP garages/buildings project meet the state and county requirements.  Best to fix things now and to have a clear understanding of how the design will be implemented to ascertain what impacts the community will be subjected to and the required mitigation.  
 
SCAR held a meeting with Jason Fiorito on Jan. 15 to go over concerns with the proposed garages project where he disclosed some details not expressed in the SEPA documentation that were helpful in our understanding the project, however many serious issues were not addressed satisfactorily.

"Soos Creek Area Response (SCAR) will promote environmental education and awareness as well as protection and preservation of the environment surrounding Pacific Raceways and the co-existing area known generally as the Soos Creek Watershed. This area encompasses many small streams and surrounding wetland and environmentally-sensitive areas that are populated by a variety of animal life, including Chinook and Coho salmon. Particular emphasis will be placed on, although not limited to, the above-described general area within ten miles in all directions of the Green River as it crosses under Highway 18 and the nearby Soos Creek Salmon Hatchery. SCAR will hold periodic status and education/awareness meetings with the surrounding community. The organization will monitor, and, as necessary use advocacy and education at the federal, state and local government level to promote a balance between environmental and business concerns. SCAR will also promote maintaining the Soos Creek Watershed in a manner conducive to coexisting with the existing residential base. SCAR will solicit funds from the surrounding community as needed for situations that arise which may require funding to effectively fulfill its' mission. SCAR, like many advocacy organizations, has applied for and received grants offered by King County Local Services to support and promote local organizations like SCAR to help in providing information and supporting educational and advocacy efforts."
