<br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />Washington State Department of Ecology – Tricia Sawyer on behalf of Gwen Clear <br />Response: The applicant will adhere to all applicable regulations outlined in the Development <br />Agreement, the Erosion Control Plan, and the MPR Conditions of Approval. For construction activities, <br />Suncadia Resort LLC maintains a stormwater pollution prevention plan for the entire Master Planned <br />Resort (MPR) that will also be applicable to this development. An NPDES permit for MPR construction <br />activities has been issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Permit No. WA-005236-1). <br />Conditions of the permit specify erosion control measures that will be used during construction <br />activities. <br /> <br />Kittitas County Public Health – Holly Erdman <br />Response: There are no on-site septic systems utilized for wastewater management with this <br />development. Residences are either serviced by gravity sewer or grinder pump systems that tie into the <br />gravity system that flow to an existing sewer lift-station. <br /> <br />Suncadia is in a Group-A water system with a green operating permit status. Suncadia resort holds <br />enough water rights that are sufficient for full build-out of the resort. Work is ongoing to calculate what <br />present infrastructure capacity is for current and future development. <br /> <br />Erin and Erich Naumann <br />Response: Access points to the Suncadia Resort were identified during the environmental impact <br />statement and entitlement process for the Development Agreement. All access points identified and <br />conveyed in the Development Agreement with Kittitas County have been provided with multiple points <br />of access for emergency personnel. Suncadia Resort partakes in continual discussions and mitigation <br />efforts with emergency and fire officials on access and egress to the resort. Emergency personnel have <br />24 hours per day, 365 days per year access and egress at all access points to the resort, including the <br />Highway 903 intersection gate. <br /> <br />Kittitas County Public Works – Public Works Plan Review Team <br />Response: Suncadia acknowledges conditions 1-5 of preliminary approval from Kittitas County Public <br />Works and will address prior to final plat; with the exception of #5.2 “Traffic Monitoring Plan” (TMP) as <br />the current agreement with Kittitas County Public Works is to have TMP report complete by 2025 and <br />not prior to this development final plat. Regarding accounting method for water connections, please see <br />response to Russell Mau with the Washington State Department of Health Office of Drinking Water. <br />Regarding wastewater, additional utility reporting requirements established post October 1, 2000 do not <br />apply to Suncadia, including waste water treatment, but as a courtesy with regard to the public works <br />request, 1,129 sewer connections have been made out of the 3,787 ERU allotment from the wastewater <br />treatment facility. Regarding traffic monitoring, Traffic impacts of the MPR continue to remain <br />considerably lower than the initial estimates in the MPR-FEIS. Pursuant to the 2014 Traffic Monitoring <br />Report, on January 13, 2015, Kittitas County waived further traffic monitoring pending certain <br />conditions, none of which have yet occurred. Suncadia along with their traffic consultant is in currently <br />engaged in the report update process with Public Works and anticipate providing report well before the <br />year 2025 requirement. After the development of the site, water quality treatment will be provided for <br />runoff from impervious road surfaces requiring stormwater treatment, including bio-filtration swales, <br />bio-infiltration, and sheet flow dispersion. <br /> <br /> <br />Index #42
