Documents filed under Washington’s environmental review process reveal a list of projects in the works for the Mid-Columbia.
The State Environmental Policy Act, or SEPA, often provides the first look at the mixed-use projects, mini-storage facilities, apartments, industrial expansions, subdivisions and more that are working their way through the various planning departments of Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla counties.
Here’s a look at projects that appeared in the SEPA register in the past month.
Richland
PBS Engineering & Environmental has submitted plans to rezone 1251 Bermuda Road to medium density residential and retail business and subdivide the more than 58-acre site into 242 new residential lots and four commercial tracts.
Richland
Nick Wright has submitted plans to place about 30,000 cubic yards of material from an adjacent intersection development project at 2551 Steptoe St. at the intersection of Steptoe and Tapteal Drive.
Benton County
Thomas Judkins has submitted a shoreline substantial development permit to enhance shoreline and floodplain function at 12903 Rundle Road, Prosser, and restore the shoreline back to its original state after removal of natural resources to build a boat ramp.

Pasco
Spencer Santillan has submitted a shoreline substantial development permit for a project involving construction of a retaining wall to expand backyard area at 11006 W. Court St. There will also be a staircase connecting the retaining wall to a path that goes down to an existing dock.
Pasco
Shane O’Neil has submitted plans to develop a three-building, three-story, 82-unit multifamily apartment complex at 909 N. Third Ave. The complex will have a clubhouse and recreation amenities, and work includes all associated improvements for utilities, drainage and erosion control necessary for the project.
Pasco
Angela Brown has submitted plans to install a liner around the existing tank farm at 2900 Sacajawea Park Road. The project includes the excavation of about 12 inches of soil within the tank farm, installation of about 200,000 square feet of liner, and placement of about 12 inches of soil/aggregate cover. The project will disturb about 4.33 acres.
Port of Walla Walla
The Port of Walla Walla is planning to add infrastructure improvements at its water system on the south side of Highway 12 in Burbank. Water storage reservoir capacity will be expanded to meet current and future demand by increasing the tank to 500,000 gallons, adding a second 500,000-gallon tank, and connecting the new tank to the existing piping. The existing water treatment facility and treatment techniques may need to be modified. The project is funded by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.
