Volume 2: Draft Gorst Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement

GORST PLANNED ACTION EIS | SUMMARYooRequire the placement of all commercial HVAC machinery to be placed within mechanical equipmentrooms wherever possible. (Equipment manufacturer’s specifications for venting and access to outside airshall be maintained.)Require the provision of localized noise barriers or rooftop parapets around HVAC, cooling towers, andmechanical equipment so that line-of-sight to the noise source from the property line of the noisesensitive receptors is blocked. (Equipment manufacturer’s specifications for venting and access to outsideair shall be maintained.)In project-specific SEPA documents applicable in the watershed or through the Planned Action Ordinance in theUGA, the Kitsap County and City of Bremerton should require construction contractors to implement the followingmeasures during construction activities through contract provisions and/or conditions of approval as appropriate:• Construction equipment shall be properly maintained per manufacturers’ specifications and fitted with thebest available noise suppression devices (e.g., mufflers, silencers, wraps).• Construction operations and related activities associated with the project shall comply with the operationalhours outlined in the Kitsap County or City of Bremerton Noise Ordinance.• Construction equipment shall not be idled for extended periods of time in the vicinity of noise sensitivereceptors.• Locate fixed and/or stationary construction equipment as far as possible from noise sensitive receptors (e.g.,generators, compressors, rock crushers, cement mixers).• Shroud or shield all impact tools, and muffle or shield all intake and exhaust ports on powered constructionequipment.Where feasible, temporary barriers shall be placed as close to the noise source or as close to the receptor aspossible and break the line of sight between the source and receptor where modeled levels exceed applicablestandards. See Section 3.5 Noise for additional detail.Hazardous MaterialsIncorporated Plan FeaturesThe Watershed Characterization & Framework Plan and Gorst Subarea Plan do not contain features that arespecific to hazardous materials. However, features of both plans would have the indirect benefit of reducing risksof exposure to hazardous materials over the long term. Regardless of the land use alternative selected, the GorstUGA would no longer have the urban industrial designation, meaning that new developments would have a lowerpotential for releases of hazardous materials than some current land uses.Features of the Watershed Characterization & Framework Plan and Gorst Subarea Plan that would minimizeflooding and increase infiltration of stormwater would help reduce risks of surface water contamination byreducing the likelihood that flood water or stormwater would run onto contaminated sites such as the BremertonAuto Wrecking Landfill. These stormwater features are discussed in detail in Section 3.2 Water Resources.Applicable Regulations and CommitmentsFederal hazardous material and waste laws and regulations would be applicable to hazardous substances used,stored, or generated by the project. Applicable federal laws include the RCRA; Hazardous and Solid WasteAmendments; CERCLA (aka Superfund); and Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. Pursuant toregulations promulgated under Section 102 of CERCLA, as amended, release of a reportable quantity of ahazardous substance to the environment in a 24-hour period must be reported to the National Response Center(40 CFR Part 302). Similarly, Washington hazardous material and waste laws and regulations would be applicableto hazardous substances used, stored, and generated by the project.
