‘Teddy Bear Friend’ leaves legacy of caring City Council approves Midway plan B BY DENNIS BOX
dbox@kentreporter.com
arbara Joslin, the Kent Fire Department’s “Teddy Bear Friend,” spent nearly 10 years providing spiritual and emotional support to anyone in need with her handcrafted bears before she died from breast cancer Dec. 12. The 74-year-old Kent resident created the teddy bears masterpieces for the firefighters to help cheer up children involved in traumatic emergencies. “She would bring us in six, seven or eight bears every month,” Fire Chief Jim Schneider said. According to the chief, the bears took Joslin about 30 hours to make and cost about $35. All was donated by Joslin to the department. He said Barbara Joslin she gave about 450 to the department over the past decade. Schneider said during the past few months she only brought in two or three each month as the she became weaker from the cancer. After she died, Schneider went to her home to meet with her husband. The chief discovered Joslin had sent many bears to fairs around the region and had taken numerous first-place awards. In the final months of her life Schneider said she did not want anyone to know she didn’t have the strength to make the bears, so she took the ribbons off the bears that were sent to the fairs and brought them into the department.

The Kent City Council has approved zoning regulations and design guidelines in place for when light rail is scheduled to come to town by 2023 along Pacific Highway South on the West Hill. The council adopted ordinances at its Dec. 13 meeting to help CITY OF turn the Midway area into a transitoriented corridor with high-rise buildings for businesses and residents. The Midway area stretches for 3 1/2 miles between South 216th Street and South 272nd Street along Pacific Highway South. Kent officials worked with the city of Des Moines to develop zoning regulation and design guidelines for the Envision Midway project. Pacific Highway from South 216th Street to Kent Des Moines Road is in the city of Des Moines. Sound Transit plans to extend the light rail line from Sea-Tac Airport to South 200th Street in SeaTac by 2016,

Kent park gets new playground BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Children who go to Kent’s West Fenwick Park get to enjoy a new playground because of a donation by United Way of King County and others. Volunteers installed the playground Dec. 13 at the 37-acre park along Reith Road at 42nd Avenue South on the West Hill. Valley Buick GMC of Auburn, the NFL and Everett-based SiteLines Park and Playground Equipment were part of the donation program.
“The craftsmanship was phenomenal,” Schneider said. “Each appendage moved 360 degrees.” The chief said he has a bear sitting on his desk as do many of the other department
Steven Greimann, resource development officer for United Way, estimated the value of the playground contribution at more than $10,000, including cash from GMC and in-kind donations by United Way and the city of Kent. “While United Way usually focuses on addressing human service needs (e.g., housing, food, youth development) we know that the intersection of economic development, gathering places, social services and community creates healthy communities,” Greimann said in an email. “So through developing a stronger relationship with the city (of Kent), we became aware of local community interest in developing gathering places where children can be more active and worked with the Parks Department to identify a park where the play set was needed.” Seattle Seahawks defensive back Marcus Trufant showed up to help install the playground.

Seattle Thunderbirds players told around 400 elementary students bullying wasn’t cool. “When I was growing up, I was around it and wasn’t sure what to do about it,� said Tyler Alos, T-Bird player. “It would have been nice to have someone older come tell me how I could handle it and who I could talk to.� The hockey players talked during an antibullying assembly held at Star Lake Elementary on Dec. 6. The team partnered with Communities In Schools to do assemblies at elementary schools and mentoring at Kent Elementary. “We want to connect the community to provide services to our schools, bridging those gaps so to speak,� said Dee Klem, elementary mentor program coordinator for communities.�We feel like this is a great partnership.

Gould-Wessen said office, commercial and residential uses are allowed to stand alone and can be mixed within the same structure which provides flexibility for developers to respond to market needs. The city will allow building heights from 55 to 200 feet, which is about 16 stories tall. City officials want to encourage developers to build up rather than the construction of more strip malls. Gould-Wessen said in her report that it’s important to have the design guidelines and development regulations in place so that Kent is ready to affect the station location and rail alignment, apply for grants to move forward with infrastructure development and be able to compete within the current aggressive economic climate.

Star Elementary was the 6th assembly for the players. “We really like doing these assemblies and they always go well,� Alos said. “At this one we talked about what different types of bullying are, which are verbal, physical, teasing and gossip.� Alos shared a story about a friend he had that was bullied as a child. “He is still affected by all he went through, so I thought that was a good example for the kids to realize how bad bullying is,� Alos said. “It doesn’t just affect someone now, but affects them years down the road.� The players encouraged the students to speak up if they’re being bullied and talk to a parent, teacher or school staff member. “We told them that these people care about them and want them to be treated well,� Alos said. “No one should have to suffer through something like that. I really hope they walk away wanting to respect each other and not wanting to bully.�

Evaluating teachers in modern schools These days, in some school districts both teachers and administrators are being evaluated to some extent based on student performance on standardized tests, and their jobs may depend on how well their students perform. Back in the day, with less diversity, there would have been only a few problems using students’ scores on standardized tests as a significant part of a teachers’ evaluation. However, in some areas student populations have dramatically changed in a variety of ways. When I first came to the Kent school District (KSD) as a teacher in 1977 much of the valley was still farmlands; nearly 90 percent of the student population was white and Christian; most of my five classes at the high school didn’t have a
shopping for boots. Katy said the right boots were much harder to find. I think that is when I started hearing Gregorian chants. While stumbling from one boot store to the next I had an epiphany. No one on earth understands why women buy the things they buy or how they do it. It’s voodoo magic. After six grueling hours of unimaginable pain and suffering, I could barely walk, I was disoriented and incoherent. Suddenly Katy said, “We should have come here first. I found them.” I could not see the difference between these boots and the first boots we saw hours and hours earlier, but, by the time she found her boots they could have cost $10,000 and I would pulled out my card. She assured me they were a really good deal because the boots were a designer brand by Guido Barfalot or something like that. I just nodded and prayed there was a path to the surface. On the ride home she talked about her new boots and how much she liked her birthday present. I thought she sounded like the same little girl I have always known. As we drove away from the mall I made sure to be very careful…and not look back.
single student of color in them; English language learners were rarely ever in my classrooms; and the words “cultural competence” were nowhere in sight. However, looking back, it didn’t take very long for the demographics to change. The KSD students are now mostly students of color; speak over 120 different languages; have numerous religious beliefs; have a majority of students on free and reduced lunch, indicating increased poverty; and has as much total diversity as any school district in the state. And, we are greatly enriched by the increased diversity. About the only thing that has not kept pace with the rapid changes and the workload are teachers’ salaries, and the support teachers need to be more effective with the influx of diverse groups. It is naïve or perhaps ignorant to believe that all students are the same and teachers can be colorblind when teaching students. Imagine yourself teaching a class with six English language learners; five special education students; two
students with behavior disorders; three ADD (attention deficit disorder) students; five high achieving students; five average students; five low achieving students; four other students who came in at the middle of the quarter; and 55 minutes later that group leaves and in walks another 35 with similar characteristics; and that happens 5 times a day. Then, before the semester is over half of the students you had at the beginning of the year have been replaced by an entirely different group with similar characteristics. And, many of the new students to your class have to take the standardized tests before you can help them prepare for success. Tell me now that it’s OK to evaluate you on how well the students do in the spring when they take the test.

like I really wanted to go, then quickly give her the money while I was still in arm’s reach of the couch. Nope. She said going together to buy something was a dandy idea. How diabolical is that? Let me tell you, my journey to the underworld makes Orpheus’ puny problems look like cotton candy as far as I’m concerned. First we went to buy her some running shoes or something. I wasn’t listening that closely. I just kept nodding thinking, “How long can this possibly last?” I think that was about noon. We went to the first mall and zipped through store after store, I would like to put in a request that stores place couches with big pillows around for dads with daughters. How hard can that be? Maybe a little TV, a few complimentary snacks and a drink would be nice as well. All I found were concrete slabs to sit on. The minute I found an angle I could tolerate it was on to the next store. If I put my coat on I would sweat. If I took my coat off I shivered. By 2 p.m. I was seeing colored lights before my eyes and feeling woozy. By 3 p.m. I suddenly found out we were now
Melvin’s Notes
?
Do you enjoy shopping during the Christmas season?
OUR CORNER
Question of the week:
Christmas stories are a tradition in many families. You hear of folks talk about watching Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” every year. I used to like Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” until some smarty pants around here started referring to me as Scrooge. (I’m as cheery as can be around Christmas — I don’t know what they’re talking about.) My favorite Christmas stories may be were a little different. I liked reading the Greek tales of guys going into the underworld to my kids. One of the best is Orpheus and Eurydice. I loved the idea that Orpheus was such a neurotic he couldn’t follow the simple rule of not looking back at Eurydice until both are out of the underworld. He peeked and messed everything up. I bet he got an earful from Eurydice the next time he saw her. I recently discovered those Greek boys were not just being fancy and symbolic. I would like to report I have now traveled to the underworld of shopping in a mall during Christmas and I never thought I would make it back. Sunday, I took my daughter, Katy, shopping. To be more specific I took her shopping for boots. Hell cannot possibly be this tortuous and I had no idea there were so many malls around. Where did they all come from and why doesn’t anyone ever tell me anything? It was Katy’s birthday, which is a week before Christmas, and always has been. Bad timing. This year I got a bright idea and told her I’d take her out to buy something. I thought this was a clever trick because I didn’t buy her a present like I was supposed to according to rules of the stupid parent universe. When I offered to take her shopping to buy something I figured she’d just tell me to fork over some money and she would go buy it herself. I would do the obligatory whining and acting

our locale, he is wrong about our completion rate. According to the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Washington state’s annual on-time graduation rate for 2009-2010 was 76.5 percent. Kent School District’s annual on-time graduation rate for the same period was 82.3 percent. The exact figures for 2010-2011 are still being formulated in Olympia, but initial calculations show our numbers will be even higher. If you look at the past four years, you will see steady improvement across all student groups and ethnicities. This is not the only evidence that our schools are heading in the right direction.

School Issues
In the Nov. 11 issue of the Kent Reporter, Charles Hoff wrote a commentary on the need for community involvement in our schools. As a Kent School Board member, former teacher, college professor and longtime community supporter, I couldn’t agree more. Research and common sense is very clear - the more the adults of a community get involved in our schools, the better our kids’ chances will be for informed, prepared, prosperous, healthy, happy and impactful lives. But, I must take firm exception with Mr. Hoff on some of his assertions about our district. He stated: “The Kent School District is below the state average for high school completion and is located in the heart of the aerospace industry.� While he is right about

percent successful for every child, we are proud of what has been accomplished in Kent School District. KSD’s average SAT scores are higher than Washington state’s average. And this state has the highest average SAT scores in the nation. Seven schools were recognized for making AYP (adequately yearly progress) as defined by the Federal No Child Left Behind Act. One school has achieved this distinction for the third year in a row. The word “adequate� is a misnomer in this situation as it is an accomplishment that very few of the schools in the country achieve. Kent Elementary, one of our highest needs schools, recently won the prestigious John D. Warner Award for Educational Excellence from Boeing. Lisa Clarke, a teacher at Kent-Meridian High School, was recently named the World Affairs Council’s World Educator for her work with our burgeoning international community and her efforts to develop instructional materials for other teachers across the globe. She is scheduled to receive the award from former President Jimmy Carter in January. Our schools, our teachers, and our students are being recognized nationally and even internationally for their innovation and achievement. And none of this is happening by accident. It is the result of deliberative action by district leadership. My colleagues and I gave our superintendent, Dr. Edward Lee Vargas, and his staff clear instructions that student achievement as defined by graduation rates, the closing of the achievement gaps between minority and majority groups, and college/career readiness are their priorities. In each category, we have seen marked gains in the past three years. Dr. Vargas is pushing our staff and system to meet high expectations so that every learning site has what the leading research tells us are the essential characteristics of a high performing school: 1. A culture of equity and excellence for all:
no excuses attitude; 2. Effective school leadership and leaders; 3. Focus on high, standards-based, academic and social expectations for all; 4. High levels of collaboration and communication; 5. Curriculum, instruction and assessments aligned with state standards; 6. Careful experimentation with instruction; 7. Frequent monitoring of learning and teaching through data based analysis; 8. Focused professional development; 9. Collaboration focused on Instruction; 10. Involvement of all stakeholders and a strong sense of family; 11. Passion for continual improvement and 12. High levels of family and community involvement. Our superintendent is a professional with the credentials to prove he can focus the energy of the Kent School District in positive and meaningful ways. We have a district improvement plan that runs 40 pages. Each school site has a distinct plan to deal with the needs of their population. Helping our students achieve in a measurable way is the focus of this district. Our tax payers have trusted us to implement technology in the curriculum. If you want to see the power of this effort, please join us for the district wide demonstrations at ShoWare Center on Jan. 18.

Each Christmas, children across America hang up their stockings for Santa to fill with toys and treats. The tradition has been going on for centuries and is practiced in many nations around the world. The exact origins of the Christmas stocking tradition are unknown, but many historians point to a 16th-century Dutch tradition in which children would fill their clogs with a treat for Sinterklaas and hay for the donkey he rode from house to house. In turn, Sinterklaas would thank the children by filling their clogs with sweet treats or coal if they had been bad. According to historians, the Dutch tradition may have stemmed from a legend involving a poor man and his marriage-age daughters. Upon the death of his wife, the man had lost much of wealth and could not provide the proper dowries for his daughters. Unable to marry, the daughters were very sad, and so was their father. Upon hearing of the family’s plight, St. Nick wanted to help, but he knew better than to offer the poor but proud man charity. Instead, he rode by the family’s house one day and tossed purses of gold down the chimney. The gold landed in the daughters’
his illustrations for George Webster’s “Santa Claus and His Works” in 1886, reviving the stocking tradition. Today, children across the world continue to hang stockings for Santa to fill, while others put out their shoes, hearkening back to the Dutch tradition. The children wake up on Christmas morning, eager to see what goodies the jolly old man has left them. Retailers help Santa out by running stockingstuffer specials throughout the holiday season.

stockings they had hung to dry by the fireplace. The family rejoiced and was very grateful to God and St. Nick.

In the poem, “the stockings were hung by the chimney with care,/In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.” Recalling that scene, Thomas Nast created stockings hanging from the mantel in

at any given moment may be more important to them than passing the test. Add other factors in the human environment, such as harassment, divorce, death in the family, domestic violence, homelessness, injury, hunger, malnutrition, and a myriad of other issues that affect human conduct and academic performance at any given moment. The teachers with whom I came into contact as I traveled the district teaching cultural competence and other classes were some of the most compassionate people on the planet. And frankly, it bothers me when I hear someone say our teachers don’t care about poor white students, students of color, or students with issues. Whereas many teachers were successful at teaching to the middle and making adaptations for the few back in the day, now successful teachers have to do much more adapting to a multitude of individual student needs, not including cultural diversity. Now add a myriad of cultural diversity and increased student issues to which a teacher is asked to adapt their lessons to fit indi-
vidual student needs. Throw in minuscule addition support for teachers. In some districts, all of this in a hypersensitive, activist environment demanding better test results; placing the burden largely on teachers and administrators to get better results or suffer the consequences. One has to ask, why isn’t more attention given to the role of parents for better education results, especially in view of the long standing body of research that says what students do at home and family support of their students’ education are strong indicators of how well a student will perform in school? Most teachers can help students achieve at higher levels. However, in general teachers need more resources and support; adequate family and community support for student learning; and more flexibility in how schools are structured to deliver education. Raise your hand if you want your paycheck tied to student performance on tests, without adequate support.

participants of different age groups were asked on what they would spend $100. Not altogether surprisingly, the 20 and 30 year olds opted for buying possessions or fun experiences, while the older folks were more interested in something calmer, like a spa treatment and the like. Dr. Mogilner warned that her research should not lead to further stereotyping of generational differences. Individuals vary considerably in how much excitement or tranquility affects their sense of happiness. “People should expect the things that make them happy and their experience of happiness to change,” she said. Still, strikingly similar results were reported after a 2008 Gallop poll, which found that people tend to become happier as they get older “by almost any measure.” In a telephone survey that covered 340,000 people between the ages 18 to 85 from every part of the country, pollsters asked various questions about personal interests, aspirations, concerns, worries as well as overall life satisfaction. The data showed that most people start out at the age of 18 feeling pretty good about their lives. Things change for the worse in the mid to late 20s and it’s downhill from then until the age of 50. At that point, there seems to occur a sharp reversal. People start getting happier, seemingly independent of their particular circumstances. By the time they reach 85, they are more satisfied with themselves than they were at 18. “It’s a very encouraging fact that we can expect to be happier in our early 80s than we were in our 20s,” said Dr.

Andrew J. Oswald, professor of psychology at Warwick Business School in England, who has published several studies on the subject of human happiness. There may be more than just one reason for a possible connection between aging and increasing contentment. “It could be that there are environmental changes, or it could be psychological changes how we view the world, or it could even be biological — for example brain chemistry or endocrine changes,” said Dr. Arthur Stone, author of a separate study based on the Gallup survey. If you don’t buy the idea that happiness grows over time, you are not alone. When asked, older participants in similar surveys often report having been the happiest in their 30s. By contrast, younger participants mostly anticipate a decline of happiness when they reach old age. While no one has come up with any definite answers yet, there are plenty of theories why the inevitable decline through aging does not necessarily dim people’s spirits. They may get better at handling the curve balls life throws at them. They may become more patient. Their past experiences may help them to put things in perspective. They may be able to focus more on the positive and overlook setbacks. And, as the years pass, people may lower their expectations and set more realistic goals, which makes success and satisfaction more likely. Another reason may be that we are just surprised to realize that life is not necessarily over after a certain age. Perhaps, cultural influences play a role here. In our youth-oriented society, it seems unfathomable to think that older folks should be happier than younger ones, despite the loss of physical beauty and vitality. But there is also an element of comfort in this for all of us. No matter how dire the warnings and predictions about the graying of America may sound, there is a good chance that an aging America will be the happiest America we have ever seen.

Kentlake senior Jaron Heck said on Dec. 15 that the Falcons wanted to beat Mount Rainier. On Tuesday, that’s just what they did, putting the Rams away 80-77 on the road. “I think we have the ability to beat them,” Heck said a few days before the game. “We have to come ready.” Heck led the team in scoring with 26 points in the victory while fellow senior Austin Pernell — who is also a standout football and baseball player for Kentlake — poured in 23. Dedrian Miller chipped in 19. “We’re ready at this point,” Heck said on Dec. 15. “We’re ready to start winning games.” With the win, Kentlake improved to 2-4 in league in 2-5 overall, bouncing back after an 84-69 loss at Kent-Meridian which is currently at the top of the standings at 5-1 which counts its only loss to Mount
Rainier on Dec. 2. “We have learned that we have to play together… because selfishness won’t get you anywhere in anything that you do,” Heck said. A year ago Kentlake got to the playoffs for the first time in a long time, this year the goal is to make it to state for the first time in school history, and Heck explained the keys to accomplishing those goals. “Our expectations for the team are to basically work together and move the ball around,” he said. “And to make it back to the playoffs. We’re fast, really fast. We’ve been playing together basically since seventh or eighth grade. We’re good friends so that comes into playing together as a team.” The team will have to work harder to crash the glass, Heck said, because they’re not as tall or beefy as say K-M. Kentlake will try and build off its wins after some early season struggles, Pernell noted. “At the very beginning our big challenge that we just overcame was our selfishness and not sharing the ball enough,” he said. Pernell stated the team wants to get further than it did last year in the playoffs, but, as Heck noted the personal relationships among the players will make a difference. “The way we connect as a team can help us,” Pernell said. “Our biggest strengths are our speed… our ability to drive (because) we run a dribble-drive offense. We can play with any team because of our speed.”

The Falcons certainly showed that to be true in the match up with the Rams.
CONQUEST FOR ANOTHER STATE TITLE Kentwood’s seniors know what it’s like to win a state championship — they did it as sophomores in 2010. A season ago with Brian Davis taking over as head coach, the Conquerors made it to the West Central
District championship game and played in the 4A state tournament. “We’ve always had a high standard,” said senior Austin Benson. “We’ve always had a common goal. It’s our senior year.” And they want to cut down the nets again in the state title game. “You always want to try and improve on what you did last year,” said 6-foot-6 forward Taylor Jones. [ more HOOPS page 12 ]
[12] December 23, 2011 [ HOOPS from page 12] “We want to get to where we were last year and see where we can go from there. We definitely have the talent. We can score. We’ve kind of proved that. We have a lot of offensive weapons.” Getting along off the court is also crucial, Benson said, to the team’s success throughout the season. “It’s beyond basketball,” he said. “We all get along really well.” There are team dinners, trips to the bowling alley as well as the times hanging out that have helped the Conks learn to communicate well on and off the court. “Our No. 1 thing is our
energy,” Jones said. “We’ve shown that we’ve had it. Once we sustain it consistently throughout the game then we’ll be at our best.” A lesson the team learned in a 61-56 loss on Dec. 10 to Thomas Jefferson, explained senior Jeremy Smith, is the importance of playing at a high level. “We learned not to come out without energy,” Smith said. “Not to assume that we’re automatically going to beat them. Any team can beat us.” A lack of consistency bit Kentwood in the opening quarter of a Dec. 16 contest at Kentridge, when the Chargers raced out to an 17-8 lead, which forced the Conks to come back on
www.kentreporter.com both ends of the floor in the second quarter. They did that, by cranking up the energy and being consistent, tying the game at 26-26 at half before pulling away in the second half for a 58-49 victory. Smith led Kentwood with 17 points while Jones tallied 11 as Benson and Jackson Huerta both chipped in 8 points. Before that game, Jones explained, the team had to remember to keep its eye on the immediate task at hand. “When people start focusing on games that aren’t in front of you, you may get caught up,” Jones said. “There’s a lot of good
teams in this league.” What Smith also thought was a key for Kentwood this season is the core of veteran players. The Conks have five seniors on the squad. “Our leadership (is a strength). Half the team are seniors,” Smith said. “That experience helps us a whole.” And those seniors know exactly how it feels to hoist the state championship trophy. “We obviously do want to get to that point,” Benson said. “We’re a different team (than two years ago), but, it’s always motivating because we know what it takes to get there. That’s always the goal.”
ROYALS LOOK TO RUMBLE TO THE TOP OF SPSL NORTH Kent-Meridian is fast yet filled with big, strong athletes. A glance at the roster yields some familiarity for anyone who follows high school football as names such as Cartez Green, Mike Banks and Boogie Yuashi were all on the Royals football squad list, as well in the fall. Early in the season Kent-Meridian has victories against Kentwood (77-72 on Dec. 10) as well as Kentlake, Kentridge and Auburn, and the only conference loss to Mount Rainier, a favorite to win the league. The Royals get the Rams again on Jan. 10. Banks led K-M in scoring
in the Dec. 16 victory over Kentlake, racking up 25 points and helping extend a three point lead early in the third quarter to a decisive double-digit win, while Martel Taylor-Barone chipped in 19 points. Banks explained the team’s early success in one word, “defense.” “We’re talking,” Banks said after the win over Kentlake. “We’re trusting each other.” Trust and good communication will help the Royals continue their success, Banks noted, with the road hopefully leading to the state tournament. “No one can stop us if we execute the way we’re supposed to,” Banks said. “We’ll get to state if we stay humble.”
PUBLIC NOTICES City of Kent, 220 4th Avenue South, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Naden Site Sand Bag Removal is located at 220 4th Avenue South in Kent, in King County.

This notice is filed by: Charlene Anderson, SEPA Responsible Official December 16, 2011 Published in the Kent Reporter on December 16, 2011 and December 23, 2011. #562275. The City of Kent, 220 4th Avenue South, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, 64th Avenue Channel Improvement is located within the existing drainage channel along the west side of 64th Avenue S., between S. 228th Street and 600 feet north of S. 226th Street in Kent, in King County. This project involves 3.38 acres of soil disturbance for stormwater drainage channel improvement related construction activities. Under this project, six existing concrete culvert pipes at two crossings of the drainage channel on the west side of 64th Avenue S. will be removed. The first set of three culverts pipes to be removed is 128 feet in length and pass channel flows beneath a UPRR spur line, private driveway and Puget Power Trail access pathway. The second set of three culverts pipes to be removed is 122 feet in length and located at the S. 226th Street crossing of the channel. The new box culverts will be installed at the same locations at the current pipes, with the exception of the south end of the box culverts at the S. 226th Street channel crossing. In addition, sediment and invasive plant species in the channel will be removed. The bottom of the channel will be lowered approximately one foot to one
and a half feet below the existing grade and graded to ensure proper slope. Approximately 5,700 cubic yards of excavated material will be hauled to a permitted site outside of the City of Kent. The new culverts and channel excavations will allow for better flow and reduced flooding. The use of the site will not change. Stormwater will be discharged into the 64th Avenue drainage channel which drains into the Green River Natural Resource Area, ultimately discharging into Boeing Creek. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be created and implemented specific to the site’s needs to ensure all erosion and sediment control potential is controlled and polluted discharges are prevented. Regular monitoring of the site, its Best Management Practices and stormwater discharge sampling will be conducted. Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320.
