NOTICE OF DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE

The City of Gig Harbor issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11-WAC) for the following project: Application PL-SDP-22-0005/PL-SPR-22-0007/PL-SEPA-22-0014 – Gig Harbor Commercial Fishing Homeport

Location: 3589 Harborview Drive, site is located on the north side of Harborview Drive, approximately 275 feet east of the intersection with Novak Street. Parcel – 5970000244 The proposal is to construct a commercial fishing homeport dock system at Ancich Waterfront Park, including a 280-foot main walk float, six 60-foot finger floats, one 80-foot finger float, an 80-foot gangway, and installation of steel guide and fender piles. The project also includes utility extensions with a sewer pump-out station, removal of the existing Jerkovich Pier and creosote piles, and shoreline mitigation improvements such as beach nourishment and stormwater outfall restoration. The proposal would result in a net overwater coverage increase of approximately 6,411 square feet.

After review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the agency, the City of Gig Harbor has determined the above proposal, with mitigation, will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.
