Thurston County has received five new SEPA filings for development projects in the past week. The filings include a propane tank storage facility at 9326 Kimmie St SW in Olympia, tree clearing for 3 residential lots in Rochester, and a dock approval on Lawrence Lake near Yelm.
Blue Star Gas applied for a Special Use Permit for two 30,000-gallon propane tanks to support residential and commercial fueling. The project site is in a Light Industrial zone. The county also received a filing for a 5.41-acre subdivision in Lacey with 21 residential lots, requiring removal of 15,000 board feet of timber. A separate tree clearing request in Rochester seeks to remove 175,000 board feet to create space for three new homes.
Public comments on all projects are due between August 26 and September 3. Thurston County is the lead agency for all filings, and residents can review the projects online at ecology.wa.gov.
