As part of the recent renovation to the Hilltop Heritage Middle School Softball Field, field lighting is planned to be added in 2025. We have entered into the environmental review process for this phase of work and as the lead agency we have issued a Determination of Non-Significance for this project, noting that this proposal will not have significant adverse impact on the environment. 

The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process is a state requirement intended to ensure state and local agencies consider the likely environmental consequences of a proposed project before the project begins. The City of Tacoma also requires submittal of SEPA materials as part of the building and site development permit review process. 

The below documents are available for public and agency review:
