Box 279 fP-LAN N e'O Shelton,Washington 98584 RE: SR 3,Mile Post 26.01,Right Vicinity Belfair Urgent Care Center County File No.: 2008-00089 EC File No.: 2008-180-M Dear Mr. Scholz: The Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT)has reviewed the Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed Belfair Urgent Care Center. This development is for the construction of a 12,000 square foot urgent care medical and dental facility at the northeast corner of the intersection of SR 3 and Romance Hill Road. The project site is within the footprint of WSDOT's SR 3 Widening and Safety project. WSDOT has determined that this development will result in significant adverse impacts to SR 3. By 2010 the estimated 434 new trips from the care center will degrade the SR 3 and Romance Hill Road intersection Level of Service from D to E for the westbound to southbound left turn movement onto SR 3. As mitigation for the impacts to SR 3 that will result from this development we request that the applicant be conditioned to: (A) Contribute $67,500 in pro-rata share to WSDOT's SR 3 Widening& Safety project. This total was calculated based on$1,500 per each of the 45 new PM peak trips that the completed project will generate. Construct right and left turn lanes for westbound Romance Hill Road traffic to facilitate northbound and southbound traffic turning movements onto SR 3. It is our understanding Mason County supports this request. Although we are requesting pro-rata share contribution to the WSDOT project we would also like to emphasize that additional right-of-way may be needed from this Mr. James Scholz July 29,2008 Page 2 development for the construction of transit and pedestrian facilities. The Mason County Transit Authority has brought to our attention that this development will result in a demand for a transit stop at this location. There is insufficient right-of- way to construct a far side intersection pullout transit stop,pedestrian facilities and a retaining wall that will be needed due to the site topography. WSDOT will make a good faith effort to come to agreement with the developer to balance the pro-rata share request with right-of-way needs to ensure the appropriate pedestrian and transit facilities are constructed at this site. Negotiations will include consideration to reduce the requested pro-rata share contribution dollar for dollar by an agreed upon value of right-of-way. Irrespective of any agreements reached,the westbound turning lane improvements should be constructed on Romance Hill Road and we encourage the County to require that pedestrian facilities be constructed along the County road to tie in with the SR 3 improvements. In summary we respectfully request the County condition this development to pay $67,500 in pro-rata share which will be applied towards the SR 3 Widening& Safety Project and to construct the left and right turn channelization on Romance Hill Road. The pro-rata should be paid and the improvements should be constructed or an agreement reached between WSDOT and the developer prior to final occupancy. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal. Please contact Alana Hess at your convenience with any questions at 360-357-2725 or by email at hessa@wsdot.wa.gov.

The Department of Ecology(Ecology)reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): SOLID WASTE&FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Anya Caudill(360)407-6084 The applicant proposes to demolish an existing structure(s). In addition to any required asbestos abatement procedures,the applicant should ensure that any other potentially dangerous or hazardous materials present,such as PCB-containing lamp ballasts,fluorescent lamps,and wall thermostats containing mercury,are removed prior to demolition. It is important that these materials and wastes are removed and appropriately managed prior to demolition. It is equally important that demolition debris is also safely managed,especially if it contains painted wood or concrete,treated wood,or other possibly dangerous materials. Please review the"Dangerous Waste Rules for Demolition,Construction,and Renovation Wastes," posted at Ecology's website,www.egy.wa.goy/progxams/hwtr/demodebris/. The applicant may also contact Rob Rieck of Ecology's Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program at(360)407-6751 for more information about safely handling dangerous wastes and demolition debris. If greater than 250 cubic yards of inert,demolition,and/or wood waste is used as fill material,a solid waste handling permit is required from the local jurisdictional health department. Standards apply as defined by Washington Administrative Code(WAC) 173-350-990-Criteria for Inert Waste. Property owners,design professionals,and contractors are encouraged to consider how building materials might be salvaged and reused. Doors,windows,cabinets and other valuable fixtures may be salvaged for reuse prior to demolition. Local salvage and reuse organizations provide services to evaluate,remove,and re-sell used building materials. We encourage the applicant to reuse or recycle all possible leftover construction materials and reduce waste generated. Recycling construction debris is often less expensive than landfill disposal. The applicant should consider designing and constructing the facility so opportunities to recycle are at least as convenient as waste disposal. Space should be provided inside and outside the facility to accommodate equipment and containers for processing and storage of recyclables. Materials such as paper,glass,aluminum and other metals,corrugated containers,and plastics should be recycled. i�� V t July 11,2008 Page 2 The applicant indicates that"The building will meet the current building code for energy conservation." If the applicant has not done so already,please refer to the techniques referenced in the LEED®(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)rating system. The LEED checklist can be an effective design guide for improving energy efficiency and Indoor Environmental Quality for large commercial building projects. Achieving any of the various levels of LEED certification indicates a comprehensive effort to reduce overall environmental impacts from building construction and operation,and can be attractive to potential tenants. For assistance and additional information on incorporating green building techniques and sustainable building materials in the project,please contact Rachael Jamison at(360)407-6352. Under Item B.l.g. of the checklist,the proponent indicated that approximately 57 percent of the development would be covered with impervious surfaces. To mitigate the impact of the impervious surfaces,the applicant may wish to utilize an alternative pervious pavement option as recommended in the Low Impact Development Technical Manual. The applicant can find the manual at the Puget Sound Partnership website http://www.psp.wa.gov/downloads/LID/LID manual2005.pdf. WATER QUALITY: Roberta Woods(360)407-6269 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. Proper disposal of construction debris must be on land in such a manner that debris cannot enter waters of the state or cause water quality degradation of state waters. During construction,all releases of oils,hydraulic fluids,fuels,other petroleum products,paints, solvents,and other deleterious materials must be"contained and removed in a manner that will prevent their discharge to waters and soils of the state. The cleanup of spills should take precedence over other work on the site. Soil in stockpiles should be stabilized or protected with sediment-trapping measures to prevent soil loss. All exposed areas of final grade or areas that are not scheduled for work,whether at final grade or otherwise, shall not remain exposed and un-worked for more than two days,between October 1 and April 30. Between May 1 and September 30,no soils shall remain exposed and un-worked for more than 7 days. Clearing limits and/or any easements or required buffers should be identified and marked in the field, prior to the start of any clearing,grading,or construction. Some suggested methods are staking and flagging or high visibility fencing. A permanent vegetative cover should be established on denuded areas at final grade if they are not otherwise permanently stabilized. Properties adjacent to the site of a land disturbance should be protected from sediment deposition through the use of buffers or other perimeter controls, such as filter fence or sediment basins. All temporary erosion control systems should be designed to contain the runoff from the developed two year,24-hour design storm without eroding. i July 11,2008 Page 3 Provision should be made to minimize the tracking of sediment by construction vehicles onto paved public roads. If sediment is deposited, it should be cleaned every day by shoveling or sweeping. Water cleaning should only be done after the area has been shoveled out or swept. Wash water from paint and wall finishing equipment should be disposed of in a way which will not adversely impact waters of the state. Untreated disposal of this wastewater is a violation of State Water Quality laws and statutes and as such,would be subject to enforcement action. After completion of this project,there is likelihood that stormwater runoff will contain increased levels of grease,oils,sediment,and other debris. It.is recommended that stormwater treatment devices be installed so that any discharge will be appropriately treated to remove these substances. The SEPA checklist indicated*the applicant will obtain a Construction Stormwater National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)permit for this project. This permit is required for construction sites where the site already has offsite discharge of stormwater to waters of the state or will have offsite discharge to waters of the state during construction,and one or more acres of soil surface area will be disturbed. The permit application form, called a Notice of Intent,is available on Ecology's website at: hn://www.ecy.wa.ggy/prograin /wq/stormwater/construction/#Application. To avoid project delays,we encourage you to submit a completed application form and to publish public notices more than 60 days before the planned start of the project. Ecology's comments are based upon information provided by the lead agency. As such,they do 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.

There are several questions later in this x � checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) The proposed project is a 12,000 sq. ft. one story building with 75 parking stalls to be built on the corner of Highway 3 and Romance Hill Road. The majority of the building, 8,000 sq. ft., will be used by the Harrison Medical Center for primary care and urgent care. The clinic will be open 12 hours a day, 7 days per week. Harrison anticipates staffing the clinic with approximately 12 full-time employees, including two physicians. The remaining approximately 4,000 sq. ft. is anticipated to be leased out to other health care related businesses. These would include everything from rehabilitation services to other specialized physicians. We hope to start construction of the project in July and have the clinic open sometime in March 2009. The project will definitely bring a modern health care facility to Belfair, with its stucco exterior, window shades, high end finishes and professionally landscaped grounds—a definite improvement to services being provided to the north end of Mason County.

Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. I i a s The will be treated septic effluent and storm water runoff from the parking lots infiltrated into the ground on the site. Wastewater Disposal: The wastewater from the site will be treated and land applied on the site in accordance with standards established by the Mason County Department of Environmental Health. The septic system design was approved on May 13, 2008 by Mason County for the disposal of 720 Gallons per day. Treatment will by settlement in a 1,500 gallon septic tank and a 1,500 gallon pump tank followed by land application with a dosed, pressurized distribution system consisting of 4 - 9' wide x 50' long drainfield beds. Stormwater Infiltration: The storm water collection and disposal system for the site consists of three separate collection, treatment, and land application systems. The lower stormwater treatment and disposal system will collect storm drainage from 1.29 acres of the site. The storm water runoff from the parking lots and landscaped areas in the lower watershed will flow through two 1500 gallon sedimentation tanks into a64'x24' infiltration bed. The overflow will flow into a 1500 gallon dry well located below the infiltration bed. The runoff from the building roof will be discharged untreated into the existing 10' x 150' infiltration bed. The upper storm water treatment and disposal system includes the runoff from 0.5 acres of landscaped areas and parking lots in the upper watershed. Stormwater from the upper watershed will flow through two 1,500 gallon settling tanks for treatment and then to a 2,310 square foot underground infiltration chamber for land disposal. The infiltration chamber will be constructed out of Infiltrator's Quick4 High Capacity Chambers capable of carrying highway vehicle loading. Overflow discharge from the lower infiltration gallery will be to the east ditch of SR3. Overflow discharge from the upper infiltration gallery will be to the north ditch of Romance Hill Road. C. Water runoff(including storm water): See above. A stormwater report has been included with this Environmental Checklist. s The stormwater from the site was analyzed using the StormShed 3G stormwater modeling program and a modeling method prescribed by the existing Mason Count Drainage Code. Infiltration of the storm water at this site is important because the wetlands located at the bottom of the hill depend on the infiltrated rainfall from the watershed for water supply. See Figure 7. 1) Describe the source of runoff(including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this flow into other waters? If so, describe. Source: A parking lot for 76 cars. Treatment: As described above. The 6 month "water quality" storm, at a minimum, will be infiltrated into the ground after treatment. The runoff from larger storms will discharge into the local drainage system. The discharge rate from the property will match existing rate of discharge except for the 2 year recurrence interval storm which will be discharged at one half the existing rate of flow. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters: If so, generally describe. No. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: See Above 4. PLANTS: See also Figure 7 at the end of this environmental checklist. a.

How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project: If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur. The Belfair Urgent Care Building proposes 12,000 square feet of medical dental office use. On a daily basis, the project is expected to generate 434 total trip movements into and out of the site. Project traffic during the PM peak hour traffic is forecasted to be 45 movements and the AM peak hour is estimated to be 30 movements into and out of the project accesses g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any: The following narrative is from the conclusions from the traffic report sighted below: WSDOT is planning a road widening project on SR-3 within the next several years which will benefit traffic flow with the addition of a third lane used for left turns along its length. The project will traverse past Romance Hill. Added to the appendix is the LOS with the addition of a two way left turn lane at this intersection. The expected LOS betters to LOS C. Until the WSDOT SR-3 project is built, a moderate amount of congestion occurs for Romance Hill traffic with the addition of the Belfair Urgent Care project. The impending construction of the additional lane on SR-3 by WSDOT limits the need to construct a left turn as part of the Urgent Care project. Any construction performed by the applicant would be torn out or replaced when the entire road project is constructed by WSDOT. The left turn warrants are not conclusive given the light number of left turns during the peak hour. It is recommended that entering sight distance be improved at the entrance by sloping and providing vegetation control easterly of the access. See accompanying traffic report entitled BELFAIR URGENT CARE, TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, May, 2008 by Heath and Associates, Inc. 15. PUBLIC SERVICES: a. Would the project result in an increased need for public service (for example: fire protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe: There will be a need to increase the fire protection and police protection to service the facility. b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any: None 16. UTILITIES: a. Circle utilities currently available at the site: electricity, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, fiber optics b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be needed. Water— Belfair Water— approximately 1000 gallons per day and fire flow. Power— Mason County PUD No. 3 Telephone — Quest Telephone Co. Natural Gas— Cascade Natural Gas Signature: 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.

Friday, July 25, 2008 Roberta Woods NPDES Permit Coordinator WSDOE — Water Quality Division PO Box 47775 Olympia, WA 98504-7775 Dear Roberta This letter is in response to your review and response to the North Mason Urgent Care Center Construction SEPA (SEP 2008-00089) document of dated July 11, 2008. In the SEPA document we indicated that we would be preparing a NPDES permit application and NOI for the project. (The project disturbs approximately 1 .8 acres.) After careful review of the site geology and the existing on-site drainage facilities we have decided to design our storm water control facilities for the construction phase such that there will be no storm runoff from the site during construction to the waters of the State of Washington. The geology of the site includes Everett Gravelly soils from which there is currently no storm water runoff. In addition, as part of a previous grading of the site that occurred six years ago, there is an existing drainage swale and infiltration facility at the low point of the site. As currently configured, the existing drainage swale and infiltration facility drains excess treated storm water to the adjoining drainage ditch that parallels SR3. My client will temporarily plug the outlet to this drainage swale and infiltration ditch to prevent any storm runoff from leaving the site during construction. t The proposed storm drainage system for the site includes treatment and infiltration facilities that will infiltrate storm runoff up to and exceeding the 50 year storm. The storm drain system for the site will be one on the first improvements to be constructed. The proposed storm drain facilities will not be allowed to discharge off site until the project is completed and the site is landscaped and stabilized. i Since we are not required to apply for and obtain a NPDES permit if there is no off site discharge of storm water during construction we do not plan to apply for a Engineering Services Associates Inc. 210 N.E.Cherokee Beach,Belfair,Washington-98528 (360)275-7384 1 FAX(360)277-3187 Engineering services Associates, Inc. NPDES permit for the project. Since our actions represent a lesser impact, or project mitigation, we do not propose to amend the SEPA for the project. Please advise if you have any concerns over our approach. I will send you copy of the drainage report for the project — if you wish. Yours Truly, cagr�-P'J4 Pat McCullough, PE President, ESA Inc.
