constructed in a manner meeting federal, state, and local permitting requirements when the proposed capital improvements are constructed. No TMDL study is required for this type of proposed capital improvement. 26. Comment: The College as Environmental Steward: The College's actions are inconsistent with the goal of preserving the irreplaceable nature of their campus or of the environment. Response: The Co/lege disagrees. Since 2003, the Callege has had an active buckthorn removal process providing 40 hours a w�e _� buckthorn removal during the summer months and the College will cantinue with this p/an. Also, during the spring, the biology department utilizes fab time to remove buckthorn around campus. This last spring, the biolog�rclass consisted of 44 students out in the field removing buckthorn. � The College continues to have Campus Service Day, whicfit� udes campus clean-up where students, faculty, and staff participate to mak� `=-si nificant impact on keeping our campus free of litter. �� The College continues to plant trees around the campus in an effort to replace lost trees due to storm�r��nage or their natural life cycles. Concerning storm water�`° arta � enf and erosion control, the EAW outlines � � ��: that the College recogniz�� that�'seueral outfall structures are in need of rehabilitation or replaceme The EAW states that these improvements will coincide with other stormwa� ��agemen# imp�ovements and portions of the proposed project, depending �,�rt�t�%� location of fhe outfall structure. A/so, the EAW states that specia� �� : easures will be taken to protect any adjacent water bodies or wetlands from er < and sedimentation during and after construction while vegetation is ge ' g established. Installation of high flow silt fences and bio-rolls will be installed prior to construction and maintained throughout construction until turf has been established. The College has demonstrated a clear and evident appreciation of their campus. The maintenance issues discussed by residents throughout the PUD and EAW process are recognized by the College and will be addressed. It is the College's intent to maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming campus and the Co//ege will continue to place a high value on the natural elements and environmentally sensitive aspects of its campus.
