It will also support the Port’s efforts to eradicate the invasive Mediterranean vineyard snail. - *SEPA Determination of Non-Significance:* We determined the proposed cleanup is not likely to cause significant environmental harm. We considered environmental, historical, and cultural factors in this process. To aid in your review, we also prepared a fact sheet. The fact sheet provides context about the site and summarizes the key points of the documents listed above. After the public comment period, we will carefully consider and respond to comments. We will work with the Port of Tacoma to finalize the documents, including any changes based on public comments. We will post updates and a Responsiveness Summary on Ecology’s Taylor Way & Alexander Ave Fill Area webpage. *Download the Draft Interim Action Plan (7.1 MB)* <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapps.ecology.wa.gov%2Fcleanupsearch%2Fdocument%2F168352%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/0100019d93a63717-a5aa9fe7-14e2-4467-88e6-6cb8d4eda701-000000/AmArZn90vDfbDw-5QX4uLqI71Nogsw7ZYvKbJtdSC8s=452> *Download the Draft Interim Action Plan - Appendices (36.3 MB)* <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapps.ecology.wa.gov%2Fcleanupsearch%2Fdocument%2F168354%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/0100019d93a63717-a5aa9fe7-14e2-4467-88e6-6cb8d4eda701-000000/HrN_5p_u2zhEGQ7FDcbLBVL35klAlhtSa6q7oUSGWBg=452> *Download the SEPA Determination & Checklist (4.8 MB)* <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapps.ecology.wa.gov%2Fcleanupsearch%2Fdocument%2F168554%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/0100019d93a63717-a5aa9fe7-14e2-4467-88e6-6cb8d4eda701-000000/-y2tOLiqIRPYsq5yUADnpSYcLrwdo87iQ-NAlcFHteY=452> * Fact sheet (download 3.4MB)* <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapps.ecology.wa.gov%2Fcleanupsearch%2Fdocument%2F169382%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/0100019d93a63717-a5aa9fe7-14e2-4467-88e6-6cb8d4eda701-000000/jOHKX_PX7uoYMmJA4yUcK8tVjgjzxIZOCh0ADj-z43I=452> ------------------------------ Stay informed For any questions regarding this public comment period, please contact Abby Zabrodsky, Public Involvement Coordinator: - *Email*: Abby.Zabrodsky@ecy.wa.gov - *Phone*: 564-250-0561 You can subscribe for site-specific updates at Ecology's Taylor Way & Alexander Ave Fill Area webpage <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fgo.ecology.wa.gov%2F4692%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/0100019d93a63717-a5aa9fe7-14e2-4467-88e6-6cb8d4eda701-000000/1KvCKeCxZo6n07nGMAHB1peGut6xKGq0wzFL3ItIFpA=452>.
