On April 27, 2020, the City of Snoqualmie published for public review and comment the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the proposed Snoqualmie Mill Planned Commercial/Industrial (PCI) Plan. The 261-acre site is located within Snoqualmie city limits and owned by Snoqualmie Mill Ventures LLC. It does not include the adjacent Mill Pond/Borst Lake property.
The written comment period was originally scheduled to close on June 11; however, Snoqualmie Mill Ventures requested that the comment period be extended to July 10 in consideration of numerous requests made during the public meeting and the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. In light of this request, combined with the requests by members of the public and Snoqualmie Indian Tribe, the comment period has been extended.
Written comments on the DEIS may be submitted at any time up to 11:59 p.m. on July 10. They can be sent to Mark Hofman, SEPA Responsible Official, City of Snoqualmie, PO Box 987, Snoqualmie, WA 98065. Comments may alternatively be emailed to mhofman@snoqualmiewa.gov or MillSiteEIS@snoqualmiewa.gov.
Approval of the DEIS would not by itself authorize any physical construction on the site. If approved, Snoqualmie Mill Ventures would need to apply to physically develop the property. If that application were approved, the site would be redeveloped over a period of approximately 10 to 15 years.
