The Department of Ecology(Ecology) reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): SEPA REVIEWER: Sonia Mendoza WATER QUALITY CONTACT: Deborah Cornett (360)407-7269 Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of Chapter 90.48 RCW, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to enforcement action. Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading, or construction. These control measures must be effective to prevent stormwater runoff from carrying soil and other pollutants into surface water or storm drains that lead to waters of the state. Sand, silt, clay particles, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered to be pollutants. Ecology's comments are based upon information provided by the lead agency. As such, they may not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments, please contact the appropriate reviewing staff listed above.

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal)and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instructions for Applicants: Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. There is a fee required, for the processing of the checklist, see above for the appropriate fee. Please make your check payable to"Mason County Treasurer'. A. BACKGROUND 1.

Applicant Signature: Date: 222�1 Z Mason County SEPA Checklist 10 ESA LISTED SALMONIDS CHECKLIST This worksheet was designed to help project proponents, and government agencies, identify when a project needs further analysis regarding adverse effects on ESA(Endangered Species Act) listed salmonids. Salmonids are salmon, trout and chars, e.g. bull trout. For our purposes, "ESA Listed Salmonids" is defined as fish species listed as endangered, threatened or being considered for listing. If ESA listed species are present or ever were present in the watershed where your project will be located, your project has the potential for affecting them, and you need to comply with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if the ESA listings will impact your project. The Fish Program Manager at the appropriate Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) regional office can provide information for the following two questions. 1. Are ESA listed salmonids currently present in the watershed in which your project will be located? YES _ NO X Please describe. 2. Has there ever been an ESA listed salmonid stock present in this watershed? YES NO -V Uncertain Please describe. If you answered "yes" to either of the above questions, you should complete the remainder of this checklist. PROJECT SPECIFICES: The questions in this section are specific to the project and vicinity. 1. Name of watershed: 2. Name of nearest waterbody: 3. What is the distance from this project to the nearest body of water: Often a buffer between the project and a stream can reduce the chance of a negative impact to fish. 4. What is the current land use between the project and the potentially affected water body (parking lots, farmland, etc.)? 5. Is the project above a: * natural permanent barrier(waterfall) YES_ NO * natural temporary barrier(beaver pond) YES_ NO * man-made barrier(culvert, dam) YES_ NO • other(explain): 6. If yes, are there any resident salmonid populations above the blockage? YES NO Don't know 7. What percent of the project will be impervious surface (including pavement& roof area)? Mason County SEPA Checklist 11 FISH MIGRATION: The following questions will help determine if this project could interfere with migration of adult and juvenile fish. Both increases and decreases in water flows can affect fish migration. 1. Does the project require the withdrawal of: a. Surface water? YES_ NO_ Amount Name of surface water body b. Ground water? YES_ NO Amount From where Depth of well 2. Will any water be rerouted: YES_ NO If yes, will this require a channel change? 3. Will there be retention or detention ponds? YES_ NO If yes, will this be an infiltration pond or a surface discharge to either a municipal storm water system or a surface water body? If to a surface waterbody, please give the name of the waterbody. YES_ NO 4. Will this project require the building of new roads? YES_ NO_ Increased road mileage may affect the timing of water reaching a stream and may impact fish habitat. 5. Are culverts proposed as part of this project? YES_ NO 6. Will topography changes affect the duration/direction of runoff flows? YES_ NO If yes, describe the changes. 7. Will the project involve any reduction of the floodway or floodplain by filling or other partial blockage of flows? YES_ NO_ If yes, how will the loss of flood storage be mitigated by your project? WATER QUALITY: The following questions will help determine if this project could adversely impact water quality. Such impacts can cause problems for listed species. Water quality can be made worse by runoff from impervious surfaces, altering water temperature, discharging contaminants, etc. 1. Do you know of any problems with water quality, in any of the streams, within this watershed? YES_ NO _ If yes, describe. Mason County SEPA Checklist 12 2. Will your project either reduce or increase shade along or over a waterbody? YES_ NO_ If yes, describe. Removal of shading vegetation or the building of structures such as docks or floats often results in a change in shade. 3. Will the project increase nutrient loading or have the potential to increase nutrient loading or contaminants (fertilizers, other waste discharges, or runoff)to the waterbody? If yes, describe. YES _ NO 4. Will turbidity be increased because of construction of the project or during operation of the project? YES_ NO_ In-water or near water work will often increase turbidity. 5. Will your project require long-term maintenance, i.e. bridge cleaning, highway salting, and chemical sprays for vegetation management, clearing of parking lots? YES_ NO_ If yes, please describe. VEGETATION: The following questions are designed to determine if the project will affect riparian vegetation, thereby, adversely impacting salmon. 1. Will the project involve the removal of any vegetation from the stream banks: YES _ NO _ If yes, please describe the existing conditions, and the amount and type of vegetation to be removed. 2. If any vegetation is removed, do you plan to re-plant? YES _ NO_ If yes, what types of plants will you use? The above answers are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that the lead agency is relying on them to make its decision. J Applicant Signature: Date: 2? rlcZ41 Mason County SEPA Checklist 13
