Multi-Family Housing Definition (MCC 17.06.010)
Background:
GMA encourages the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the
population, promotes a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourages
preservation of existing the housing stock.
Mason County's Comprehensive Plan contains goals and policies to encourage affordable housing
through innovative land use techniques including infill housing incentives, smaller urban lots in
urban areas, mixed use, multifamily units, density bonuses for affordable units.
Residential districts in the County's Urban Growth Areas provide several options to meet the
housing needs of Mason County. They permit single dwelling units, multi-family units, accessory
dwelling units, assisted living facilities, day cares, and group homes as well as the necessary
schools, churches, and community centers to support those residents.
Current Multi-Family Definition:
"Multifamily" as"a structure containing four or more,joined dwelling units."MCC 17.06.010)
To better sync this definition with the updated goals and policies outlined in Mason County's
Comprehensive Plan, a broader definition of multi-family housing is proposed that will enable a
broader range of options largely determined by lot size and density.
Planning Commission Proposed Multi-Family Definition:
"Multifamily" means any structure or cluster of small houses of similar size and design joined by a
common area that includes two or more dwelling units on a single parcel."
Additional Cost to the County: None
RECOMMENDED ACTION: After review, consider adopting the Planning Commission's
recommendation for a revised definition of"Multi-Family

detrimental effects." (Websters 11) For human populations, this concept less useful in the sense that
resources which are locally in short supply can be transferred from anywhere in the world, and the level of

that technology and other human activities are managed. Humans do not have the limited range of
behaviors other species have. Examples of values to be protected in the plan would be native fisheries or
rural character.

Staff Report: Dave Windom, Director, MCCS
ESSB 6091 Implementation
Situation: In response to the state legislature approving ESSB 6091, providing a long-term
solution to the Hirst decision, staff prepared an emergency ordinance relating to the use of
permit exempt water withdrawals for development purposes. This was adopted as an
emergency ordinance so that the County could immediately comply with state law and
process development permit applications dependent upon permit exempt wells consistent
with the new law. Staff recommended that you adopt it on January 30, 2018 and schedule it
for a public hearing on February 20, 2018. Staff would then prepare a final, permanent
ordinance similar to the emergency ordinance to take through our standard public review
and approval process within the next 60 days, prior to final GMA compliance proceedings
before the Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB Case No. 12-2-0013).
At the February 20th hearing it was discovered that not all materials pertaining to the
ordinance had been placed online. Staff recommended that another public hearing be
scheduled to correct the process and ensure compliance and transparency. The hearing was
then scheduled for March 20th, 2018.
Background:This ordinance differs from the previous interim water resources ordinances in
that, pursuant to ESSB 6091, hydrogeologic instream flow impairment analyses and
mitigation are no longer required for new groundwater withdrawal applications. For
example, an applicant in WRIA 22 may now obtain approval for a groundwater withdrawal
(a well) exempt from permitting under RCW 90.44.050 for domestic use only, with a
maximum annual average withdrawal of three thousand gallons per day per connection.
They must also pay a fee of$500 dollars ($350 of which the County must forward to the
Department of Ecology), and must record any relevant restrictions or limitations associated
with water supply with the property title. WRIA 14 and 15 have similar processes with
restrictions to 950 gallons per day.
Analysis: The code revisions as previously briefed meet the requirements of ESSB 6091.
Additionally, staff received information from Ecology that applicants may still use a
hydrogeologist to investigate non-connectivity to instream flows. Should non-connectivity
be determined, applicants would be allowed the full 5000 gpd withdrawal provisions of an
exempt well.The cost for this study would be borne by the applicant. This appears
consistent with ESSB 6091.The current draft version of MCC 6.68 now includes this

provision.
ESSB 6091 also contains provisions that immediately add to the County's watershed
management work plan. The most noteworthy is that it directs the Department of Ecology to
work with the initiating governments and the planning units described in chapter 90.82 RCW
to update the WRIA 14 Watershed Management Plan by June 30, 2021 to identify the
potential impacts of exempt well use, identify evidence-based conservation measures, and
identify projects to improve watershed health.The Watershed Management Plan Update
must include recommendations for projects and actions that will measure, protect, and
enhance instream resources and improve watershed functions that support the recovery of
threatened and endangered salmonids.
The ordinance that made changes to the fee schedule from the February hearing is not being
addressed today. All the elements of that ordinance were available online so there should be
no public disclosure issues. That ordinance stands as adopted on February 20th, 2018.

14.48.150- New development and redevelopment—Minimum requirements.
Development of individual, detached, single-family residences and duplexes exceeding two thousand
square feet of impermeable surfacing must have a small parcel erosion and sediment control plan, and a
residential site improvement plan (which includes a written description of the proposed work and
development) prepared and submitted for county review and approval.
Nonresidential development exceeding five thousand square feet of impermeable surfacing and/or
land disturbing activities of one acre or more must have the large parcel ESC plan (if required) and the
permanent stormwater quality control (PSQC) plan (if required) prepared and stamped by a licensed civil
engineer.
All applicants shall manage stormwater runoff on-site to the extent practicable by maximizing
infiltration, including using low-impact development techniques as defined in the most current version
of the Stormwater Manual for Western Washington produced by Washington State Department of
Ecology,or pursuant to stormwater management requirements adopted by Mason County,where more
stringent.
(1) New Development.
(A) All new nonresidential development that includes the creation or addition of five thousand
square feet, or greater, of new impervious surface area, and/or land disturbing activity of
one acre or greater, shall comply with minimum requirements #1 through #11 in
subsections (3)through (13) of this section.
Compliance shall be demonstrated through the implementation of an approved
stormwater site plan consisting of a large parcel ESC plan and a PSQC plan, as
appropriate.
(B) All new nonresidential development that includes the creation or addition of five thousand
square feet, or greater, of new impervious surface area, and land disturbing activity of less
than one acre, shall comply with minimum requirements#2 through #11 in subsections (4)
through (13) of this section and the small parcel minimum requirements found in Section
14.48.140 above. This category of development shall also prepare a stormwater site plan
that includes a small parcel erosion and sediment control plan.
Compliance shall be demonstrated through the implementation of an approved
stormwater site plan that includes a small parcel erosion and sediment control plan and a
PSQC plan.
(C) All new residential development and redevelopment (individual, detached, single family
residences and duplexes) that includes the creation or addition of two thousand square
feet, or greater of new impervious surface area, shall prepare a small parcel erosion and
sediment control plan which complies with minimum requirements #1 through #5 in
Sections 14.48.140(1) through 14.48.140(5), and shall prepare a residential site
improvement plan which includes a written description of the proposed work and
development. The small parcel erosion and sediment control plan along with the residential
site improvement plan should show and describe how development impacts are proposed
to be mitigated.
Compliance shall be demonstrated through the implementation of approved erosion
and sediment control plan, and a residential site improvement plan.
(2) Redevelopment.
(A) Where nonresidential redevelopment of greater than or equal to five thousand square feet
occurs:
The new development minimum requirements #1 through #11, subsections (3)
through (13), shall apply to that portion of the site that is being redeveloped, and source
control BMPs shall be applied to the entire site, including adjoining parcels if they are part
of the project. A stormwater site plan shall be prepared.
(B) In addition to the above requirements, where one or more of the following conditions
apply, a stormwater site plan shall also be prepared that includes a schedule for
implementing the minimum requirements to the maximum extent practicable, for the entire
site, including adjoining parcels if they are part of the project. An adopted and implemented
basin plan (minimum requirement #9) may be used to develop redevelopment
requirements that are tailored to a specific basin.
(i) Existing sites greater than one acre in size with fifty percent or more impervious
surface.
(ii) Sites that discharge to a receiving water that has a documented water quality
problem. Subject to local priorities, a documented water quality problem includes, but
is not limited to water bodies:
a. Listed in reports required under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act, and
designated as not supporting beneficial uses;
b. Listed under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act as not expected to meet
water quality standards or water quality goals;
C. Listed in Washington State's Non-point Source Assessment required under
Section 319(a) of the Clean Water Act that, without additional action to control
non-point sources of pollution cannot reasonably be expected to attain or
maintain water quality standards.
(iii) Sites where the need for additional stormwater control measures has been identified
through a basin plan, the watershed ranking process under Ch. 400-12 WAC, or
through Growth Management Act planning.
(3) Minimum Requirement #1: Erosion and Sediment Control. All new development and
redevelopment that includes land disturbing activities of one acre or greater shall comply with
erosion and sediment control requirements 1 through 14, below. Compliance with the erosion
and sediment control requirements shall be demonstrated through implementation of a large
parcel erosion and sediment control plan.
All new development and redevelopment that includes land disturbing activities of less than
one acre shall comply with the small parcel minimum requirements found in Section 14.48.130,
above. Compliance with the small parcel requirements shall be demonstrated through
implementation of a small parcel erosion and sediment control plan.
The following erosion and sediment control requirements shall be met:
(A) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement#1: Stabilization and Sediment Trapping. All
exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized by suitable application of BMPs. From
October 1 to April 30, no exposed and unworked soils shall remain unstabilized for more
than two days. From May 1 to September 30, no exposed and unworked soils shall remain
unstabilized for more than seven days. Prior to leaving the site, stormwater runoff shall
pass through a sediment pond or sediment trap, or other appropriate BMPs.
(B) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement#2: Delineate Clearing and Easement Limits.
In the field, mark clearing limits and/or any easements, setbacks, sensitive/critical areas
and their buffers, trees, and drainage courses.
(C) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #3: Protection of Adjacent Properties.
Properties adjacent to the project site shall be protected from damage by sediment
deposition.
(D) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #4: Timing and Stabilization of Sediment
Trapping Measures. Sediment ponds and traps, perimeter dikes, sediment barriers, and
other BMPs intended to trap sediment on-site shall be constructed as a first step in
grading. These BMPs shall be functional before land disturbing activities take place.
Earthen structures such as dams, dikes, and diversions shall be seeded and mulched
according to the timing indicated in erosion and sediment control requirement#1.
(E) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #5: Cut and Fill Slopes. Cut and fill slopes
shall be designed and constructed in a manner that will minimize erosion. In addition,
slopes shall be stabilized in accordance with erosion and sediment control requirement#1.
Supplemental Guidelines: Consideration should be given to the length and steepness
of the slope, the soil type, upslope drainage area, ground water conditions, and other
applicable factors. Slopes which are found to be eroding excessively within two years of
construction must be provided with additional slope stabilizing measures until the problem
is corrected.
(i) Roughened soil surfaces are preferred to smooth surfaces on slopes (see BMP E2.35
in Chapter II-5).
(ii) Interceptors (see BMP E2.55 in Chapter II-5) should be constructed at the top of long
steep slopes, which have significant drainage areas above the slope. Diversions or
terraces may also be used to reduce slope length.
(iii) Concentrated stormwater should not be allowed to flow down cut or fill slopes unless
contained within an adequate temporary or permanent channel, or pipe slope drain
(see BMP E2.25 in Chapter II-5).
(iv) Wherever a slope face crosses a water seepage plane which endangers the stability
of the slope, adequate drainage or other protection should be provided (BMPs E2.30
and E2.75 in Chapter II-5).
(F) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #6: Controlling Off-site Erosion. Properties
and waterways downstream from development sites shall be protected from damage by
erosion due to increases in the volume, velocity, or peak flow rate of stormwater runoff
from the project site.
(G) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #7: Stabilization of Temporary Conveyance
Channels and Outlets. All temporary on-site conveyance channels shall be designed,
constructed and stabilized to prevent erosion from the expected velocity of the peak flow
from a two-year, twenty-four hour frequency storm for the developed condition.
Stabilization adequate to prevent erosion of outlets, adjacent streambanks, slopes and
downstream reaches shall be provided at the outlets of all conveyance systems.
(H) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #8: Storm Drain Inlet Protection. All storm
drain inlets made operable during construction shall be protected so that stormwater runoff
shall not be discharged offsite or be introduced into any fill area without first being filtered
or otherwise treated to remove sediment.
(1) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #9: Underground Utility Construction. The
construction of underground utility lines shall be subject to the following criteria:
(i) No more than five hundred feet of trench shall be opened at one time, unless
provisions are made to protect against adverse stormwater impacts.
(ii) Where consistent with safety and space considerations, excavated material shall be
placed on the uphill side of trenches.
(iii) Trench dewatering devices shall discharge into a sediment trap or sediment pond.
(J) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #10: Construction Access Routes.
Construction vehicle access shall be, whenever possible, limited to one route. Access
points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public roads.
Wherever construction vehicle access routes intersect paved roads, provisions must
be made to minimize the transport of sediment (mud) onto the paved road. If sediment is
transported onto a road surface creating a hazard, the roads shall be cleaned immediately,
and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day. Sediment shall be removed from roads by
shoveling or sweeping and be transported to a controlled sediment disposal area. Street
washing shall be allowed only after sediment is removed in this manner.
(K) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #11: Removal of Temporary BMPs. All
temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within thirty days after
final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
Trapped sediment shall be removed or stabilized on site. Disturbed soil areas resulting
from removal shall be permanently stabilized.
(L) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #12: Dewatering Construction Sites. Trench
dewatering devices shall be discharged in a manner that will not adversely affect flowing
streams, drainage systems, or offsite property. Water discharged from dewatering pumps
shall be routed through a sediment pond or trap unless it is clear.
(M) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #13: Control of Pollutants Other Than
Sediment on Construction Sites. All pollutants other than sediment that occur on-site
during construction shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that does not cause
contamination of stormwater.
(N) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #14: Maintenance. All temporary and
permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be maintained and repaired as
needed and in a timely manner to assure continued performance of there intended
function. All maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with an approved
manual.
(0) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #15: Financial Liability. Performance
bonding, or other appropriate instruments, may be required to ensure compliance with the
approved erosion and sediment control plan.
(4) Minimum Requirement #2: Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems. Natural drainage
patterns shall be maintained, and discharges from the site shall occur at the natural location to
the maximum extent practicable.
(5) Minimum Requirement #3: Source Control of Pollution. Source control BMPs shall be applied
to all projects to the maximum extent practicable. Source control BMPs shall be selected,
designed, and maintained according to an approved manual. An adopted and implemented
basin plan (minimum requirement#9) may be used to develop source control requirements that
are tailored to a specific basin, however, in all circumstances, source control BMPs shall be
required for all sites.
(6) Minimum Requirement #4: Runoff Treatment BMPS. All projects shall provide treatment of
stormwater. Treatment BMPs shall be sized to capture and treat the water quality storm, defined
as the six month, twenty-four hour storm. The first priority for treatment of stormwater shall be to
infiltrate as much as possible of the water quality design storm into the ground. (Infiltration
BMPs practices shall be in accordance with Chapter III-3 of the PSWQA Manual) Pretreatment
of stormwater prior to infiltration into the ground may be required in cases where:
(A) The stormwater contains high concentrations of undesirable dissolved chemicals that can
move through soil.
(B) The stormwater contains large amounts of sediment that might clog the infiltrative
surfaces in the basin.
(C) The soils are extremely pervious and will not properly filter the stormwater as in the case
for some gravelly (type one) soils.
Stormwater treatment BMPs shall not be built within a natural vegetated buffer, except
for necessary conveyance systems as approved by the director.
An adopted and implemented basin plan (minimum requirement #9) may be used to
develop runoff treatment requirements that are tailored to a specific basin.
The objectives of providing stormwater treatment BMPs are, for both surface and
ground waters, to protect the quality and quantity, to allow attainment of the designated
uses, and to meet state standards promulgated under Chapter 173 of the Washington
Administrative Code.
(7) Minimum Requirement#5: Streambank Erosion Control. The requirement below applies only to
situations where stormwater runoff is discharged directly or indirectly to a stream, and must be
met in addition to meeting the requirements in Minimum Requirement #4, Runoff Treatment
BMPs:
Stormwater discharges to streams shall control streambank erosion by limiting the peak
rate of runoff from individual development sites to fifty percent of the existing condition two-year,
twenty-four hour design storm while maintaining the existing condition peak runoff rate for the
ten-year, twenty-four hour and one hundred-year, twenty-four hour design storms. As the first
priority, streambank erosion control BMPs shall utilize infiltration to the fullest extent practicable,
only if site conditions are appropriate and ground water quality is protected. Streambank erosion
control BMPs shall be selected, designed, and maintained according to an approved manual.
Stormwater treatment BMPs shall not be built within a natural vegetated buffer, except for
necessary conveyance systems as approved by the director, and maintained according to the
1992 manual.
An adopted and implemented basin plan (minimum requirement #9) may be used to
develop streambank erosion control requirements that are tailored to a specific basin.
(8) Minimum Requirement #6: Wetlands. Stormwater discharges to wetlands shall maintain the
wetland's natural hydroperiod and flows to the extent needed to preserve or enhance its existing
functions and values. Prior to proposing discharge of higher volumes of stormwater to a
wetland, alternative discharge, detention, and infiltration practices located in areas outside the
wetland shall be evaluated and employed by the project engineer where feasible and
practicable.
These requirements apply to existing natural wetlands and wetlands created as mitigation
for loss of wetland acreage. Wetlands constructed and operated solely for use as stormwater
treatment/storage areas are exempt from these and most other restrictions that apply to natural
wetlands. Constructed wetlands may lose this exemption if not operated and maintained as
stormwater areas for three or more years. Other local, state, or federal wetland protection
requirements may also apply.
(9) Minimum Requirement #7: Water Quality Sensitive Areas. Where the Mason County
commissioners or their designee determine that the minimum requirements do not provide
adequate protection of water quality sensitive areas, either on-site or within the basin, more
stringent controls shall be required to protect water quality. An adopted and implemented basin
plan (minimum requirement#9) may be used to develop requirements for water quality sensitive
areas that are tailored to a specific basin.
(10) Minimum Requirement#8: Off-site Analysis and Mitigation.
Downstream Analysis May Trigger Additional Requirements. The project engineer shall
provide a detailed qualitative analysis of the flow path of the discharge from the project site to
the receiving water. This requirement shall apply to all projects where a drainage and erosion
control plan is prepared, including those proposing retention facilities. This analysis shall include
flow routing, and provide existing pipe and channel sizes and estimated capacities. In addition,
the project engineer shall discuss any known or expected downstream erosion, flooding, or
water quality problems, including those that may be caused by interflow from the proposed
retention facility. The director or designee shall have the discretion to specify the distance and
level of detail to be provided by the project engineer. In making this determination, the director
or designee shall consider such factors as the relative size of the new development, availability
of other hydrologic work for the drainage area, and the extent to which stormwater generated on
the project site is to be infiltrated.
Based upon this analysis, the project engineer may determine or the director or designee
may require that a quantitative analysis of the conveyance system be performed both upstream
and downstream of the project site. A quantitative analysis will not be required for most projects
that propose to infiltrate most or all stormwater. This analysis shall determine conveyance
system performance for the appropriate design event(s) both with and without the proposed
development. The director or designee shall have the discretion to specify the distance and
level of detail to be provided by the project engineer. The director or designee shall consider
factors such as the relative size of the new development, availability of other hydrologic work for
the drainage area, and the results of the qualitative analysis, in making this determination.
The quantitative downstream analysis will include modeling the hydraulics of the proposed
project and all other sources of runoff tributary to the receiving water body for the appropriate
design event. The project engineer shall include an analysis of the impact of the twenty-four
hour, one hundred-year event (in addition to "Design Event" analysis) for each component of
the system including pond spillway.
The director or designee may impose stricter discharge and/or detention standards if the
discharge from the project, evaluated in the context of other existing conditions in the drainage
area, is reasonably expected to result in any of the following:
(A) Flooding;
(B) Loss of aquatic habitat due either to high or low flows;
(C) Property damage;
(D) Water quality problems;
(E) Erosion;
(F) Or an unacceptable interruption of vital services.
If the project engineer (or director or designee) determines that greater treatment,
infiltration and/or storage volumes, lower release rates, or downstream improvements are
needed, he/she shall specify project design criteria or other means to relieve the downstream
problems (providing that such solution will not violate minimum standards established in the
1992 manual). Other means might include increases in downstream flow capacity and/or offsite
detention and infiltration facilities, plans and financing for which will be subject to the approval of
the director or designee.
(11) Minimum Requirement #9: Basin Planning. Basin Plan Supersedes 1992 Manual. If a
proposed project is located in a basin or sub basin for which the county has an adopted basin
plan, stormwater requirements specifically identified in the basin plan shall take precedence
over those provided in this chapter. However, all other elements detailed in this chapter shall
continue to apply to such projects. Basin plans are required to be developed according to an
approved manual.
(12) Minimum Requirement #10: Operation and Maintenance. An operation and maintenance
schedule shall be provided for all proposed stormwater facilities and BMPs, and the party (or
parties) responsible for maintenance and operation shall be identified. An operation and
maintenance (O&M) Covenant will be required to cover all privately owned and maintained
stormwater facilities approved by the director. O&M covenant forms are available at the Mason
County public works office. A copy of the completed instrument, shall be recorded with the
county auditors' office by the proponent, and a copy of the recorded instrument is required to be
submitted to the public works department prior to final approval of the completed permanent
stormwater facilities.
(13) Minimum Requirement #11: Financial Liability. Performance bonding, or other appropriate
instruments shall be required for all projects to ensure compliance with these standards.
(14) Variances from These Standards. Variances from these standards may be allowed at the
discretion of the director or designee provided that the proponent will substantially meet flow
control and water quality goals established by or implicit in these standards. Compliance with
ordinance requirements shall normally occur within the project area, but may be performed as
offsite mitigation in certain situations. Examples of cases when variances may be approved
includes, but are not limited to, the following:
(A) That the special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, such
as size, shape, topography, or location, and that literal interpretation of these standards
would deprive the property owner of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties similarly
situated; or
(B) That the site is being remodeled and certain site investigations would be destructive to
existing structures; or
(C) That remodels of existing projects which are either too small or so configured that in the
director's or designee's opinion some requirements of the manual cannot practically be
met; or
(D) That public works or private sector projects are in an existing road right-of-way, which is
not of adequate size to install preferred BMPs and for which right-of-way cannot be
expanded because of encroaching structures or setbacks for existing structures.
All requests for variances must be submitted in writing to the director or designee, and
must clearly state the specific section(s) of the ordinance from which a variance is requested
and why.
(15) Experimental BMPs. Experimental best management practices are defined as BMPs, which
have not been tested and evaluated by the Department of Ecology in collaboration with local
governments and technical experts. Some so-called experimental BMPs will likely be minor
variations on an existing theme. In that case, Ecology would review and approve or disapprove
the BMP in as timely a manner as possible. Where new designs are developed (examples of
experimental BMPs may be found in Section 1-2.17.2 of the PSWQA Manual), the review will be
extended through the use of a standing committee of technical experts. These persons will
review and comment on the practice, and Ecology will then determine whether or not these
BMPs should be approved and/or added to the manual.
(A) Approval of Experimental BMPs. Approval to use an experimental BMP may be granted
subject to initial approval by the Department of Ecology and the local government. If such
experimental BMPs prove useful they may be incorporated into later editions of the manual
following appraisal of the results and appropriate technical review conducted by Ecology in
collaboration with local governments and other interested parties. Approval to use an
experimental BMP will only be granted when a suitable contingency plan using approved
BMPs has been provided by the applicant to be used in the event that the experimental
BMP does not perform adequately.
In addition, several experimental BMPs have been included in the 1992 manual.
People may wish to use these BMPs on a trial basis, subject to approval by the local
government and provision of a contingency plan. In any event, use of experimental BMPs
is encouraged whenever applied research is being undertaken so that more information is
made available to facilitate judgement on their applicability and possible adoption as an
approved BMP.

MASON COUNTY
BRIEFING ITEM SUMMARY FORM
TO: BOARD OF MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Bart Stepp, Deputy Director/ Utilities and Waste Management
DEPARTMENT: Public Works EXT: 652
BRIEFING DATE: March 12, 2018
PREVIOUS BRIEFING DATE: September 9, 2016
ITEM: Belfair Phase II Collection System Ecology Funding
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the fall of 2016 Mason County applied for funding through the Department of Ecology for the
design of a collection system expansion for the Belfair Sewer System. The funding request was
for $750,000 with a 50% match from the County. We were put on the funding list for the 2017
funding cycle. This funding was part of the state capital budget so approval of this funding was
delayed until 2018 when the capital budget was finally approved.
Attached is the letter from Ecology informing us that we were approved for a $375,000 loan at
1.5% for 20 years and a $375,000 forgivable principal loan that will not need to be repaid.
Belfair qualified as a hardship area so that is why half of the loan is forgivable principal.
The sewer options the County is looking at in Belfair have grown since 2016. I have asked
Ecology whether this funding could be used to look at additional areas in Belfair besides the
Phase II area. We could use the planning funds to look at multiple scenarios for expansion.
Cost Impact to the County
The County did not budget any matching funds for this project in 2018 as the capital budget
approval was after our budget process. We could push the timeline, for signing the funding
agreement and starting the project, out until 2019. We could then budget for matching funds
in 2019. Ecology would not want the project to start later than that.
The County would also be responsible for paying off the $375,000 loan for the next 20 years
once the project is complete. The annual payment on $375,000 over 20 years at 1.5% is
$21,714.60.
RECOMMENDATION: Public Works is requesting direction from the Council on whether to
pursue this project. The Belfair Sewer System needs to expand its customer base to improve
its financial sustainability. But the County is also pursuing other options for sewer expansion in
addition to the Phase II area.

The Community Intelligence Lab is currently working to expand and target its reach. Reid met monthly
with members of the Mason County EDC and Chamber of Commerce on a monthly basis to discuss the
current state and future of the Enterprise for Equity program. He presented to two of the graduating
classes from the Enterprise for Equity program,to inform new business owners of the assistance that the
CIL can provide. We've had several follow-up meetings with graduates regarding website construction
and application development. In conjunction with two other Extension professionals, we presented and
recorded a live webinar on data analysis for the general public, which can be accessed at
https://youtu.be/M9y5S4lOuAA. Justin and Reid wrote and submitted a Journal of Extension article on
machine learning algorithms,which was approved. The CIL website is being reimagined and rebuilt with
a more accessible and robust layout. Our crowd-sensing app is still in beta, but fully available at
www.emplace.io. We've also worked with Grays Harbor on beginning a climate change impact study for
that area.The CIL Facebook group continues to grow and has over 550 members.

Mason County 4-H volunteers have been busy mentoring the youth of the 4-H FIRST Robotics Team in
preparation for upcoming competitions.These talented high school students are working side by side
with trained 4-H volunteers to design and build a robot that will compete against other teams in a high-
energy environment. Robotics is the ultimate sport for the mind and combines the excitement of sport
with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources and time limits, the team
of students must raise funds, hone teamwork
skills, and build and program a robot to
perform tasks as indicated in this year's
"Power Up" challenge. It is as close to "real-
world" engineering as a student can get. This
year's challenge, will find teams trapped in
an 8-bit video game. Each three-team
alliance will work to defeat their competition
by tipping a scale or switch, exchanging
power cubes for power ups, or scaling a
tower. Youth are learning and using
sophisticated hardware and software while
developing skills relating to design
development, project management,
programming, teamwork, strategic thinking,
and cooperation.

QUICK FACTS
Youth Need
County Health Rankings (2017) indicate that a full 27%of Mason County children live in
households that lack the resources to get enough nutritious food on a regular basis. This compares to
16%of kids in the state overall.
While Washington State reported a decrease of 2%for children living in poverty, Mason County
reported a 3% increase from 2016 data.
Specific risk factors for Mason County youth include higher consumption of sweetened drinks than
state averages, low rates of breakfast and fruit and vegetable consumption, and low rates of physical
activity.
Adult Need
SNAP-Ed Department of Health Regional Needs Assessment recorded health risk factors including
adults without work or insurance and food insecurity.There are 11,440 Basic Food Clients in Mason
County from the period July 2015-June 2016.
This assessment also demonstrated that adults in Mason County have a number of health risks
including poor nutrition, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and physical inactivity, heart
disease and living with a chronic disease.These account for seven of eight measures reviewed.
SNAP-Ed Goal
With Regional and County data pointing to persistent negative outcomes, our overall goal is to create a
healthy food and physical activity environment in Mason County that links SNAP-Ed programming
between our partners.
To the fullest extent possible, we seek to provide opportunities for learning about healthy behaviors
while simultaneously creating school and community spaces that are venues for reinforcing and
practicing these behaviors to create sustainable, long-term change.
Programming Highlights
Schools
o National Smarter Lunchroom Design (SLD) -WSU educator Gabrieal Volpe, requested materials in
Spanish to use with our Spanish-speaking population.Though no materials were available, WSU
provided information to advocate for them.The result is that the National Smarter Lunchroom program
took on a large scale, national project to create Spanish language materials for early learning
environments. Roll out will begin with a national training webinar in mid-March in English followed by a
Spanish language webinar in early April. Spanish language materials expected to be posted at the end of
February.

o Shelton Farmers Market and Farm Stands-Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program—Distribute
free$40 in coupons to seniors who apply for the program. Redeemable at farms,farm stands, and
farmers' markets. Mason County receives a disproportionately low percentage of vouchers in the
Mason, Lewis,Thurston district. WSU is beginning a project whose goal is to increase voucher
distribution. This not only puts additional funds into the hands of needy seniors, it also adds to increased
economic impact on our agriculture businesses.
o Saint's Pantry Food Bank- The WCC, Prison Garden Program donated in excess of 25,000
pounds of fresh, local produce to our food banks in Hood Canal and Shelton areas. This is the
most donated produce any correction facility garden has produced for donation - nationally.
WSU staff surveyed food bank clients to find out vegetable preferences and the WCC garden
program used this information to further meet the needs of our community.
o Shelton Timberland Library—Plan,Save, Shop& Cook class- Free nutrition and food resource
management classes. New initiatives include an on-line sign up and partnering with the Friends of the
Shelton Timberland Library and Saint's Pantry Food Bank to provide ingredients for participants to Take
and Make a meal together at the close of class.This allows participants to practice new learning and
bring home a healthy meal.

RE: Authorizing development permits under ESSB 6091
Dear Mr. Windom:
As you are likely aware,ESSB 6091 was passed in January 18,and signed into law on January
19,2018.
Among other important water management measures,this law provides for counties to begin
approving building permits and subdivisions for projects relying on permit-exempt groundwater
withdrawals for water supply,subject to the provisions in the new legislation,while local
committees work to develop plans to guide future water use.
Ecology recognizes that there is strong local interest in ensuring that building permits relying on
permit-exempt wells for new homes are in compliance with the new law.
We are providing the following technical assistance regarding implementation of the requirement
to record relevant restrictions or limitations associated with water supply with the property title.
To comply with the new law it is also necessary for you to track all building permits and
subdivisions authorized under the law,and to collect applicable fees.
RCW 90.44.050 limits single or group domestic water use to a maximum of 5,000 gallons per
day(gpd). The newly adopted legislation did not amend this law. The new legislation sets water
use limitations that are specific to affected Water Resource Inventory Areas(WRIAs)where
rules apply.
There are four rules adopted to protect instream resources in Mason County:
+ Instream Resources Protection Program Kennedy-Goldsborough River Basin, Water
Resource Inventory Area(WRIA) 14, Chapter 173-514 WAG
• Instream Resources Protection Program—Kitsap Water Resource Inventory Area
(WRIA) 15,Chapter 173-515 WAC
• Water Resources Program in the Chehalis River Basin, Water Resource Inventory Area
(WRIA)22 and 23,Chapter 173-522 WAC
Within WRIA 22,the Chehalis basin,the following water use restriction and limitation should be
recorded with the property title for affected parcels:
• Domestic water use at this property is subject to a water use limitation of a maximum
annual average withdrawal of three thousand gallons per day,per connection,subject to
the five thousand gallon per day limit in RCW 90.44.050.
Within WRIAs14 and 15,the Kennedy-Goldsborough and Kitsap basins,the new law requires
that stormwater runoff at affected properties be managed on-site to the extent practicable by
maximizing infiltration,including using low-impact development techniques, or pursuant to
locally adopted stormwater management requirements,if locally adopted requirements are more
stringent.
In addition the following water use restriction and limitation should be recorded with the
property title for affected parcels:
• Domestic water use at this property is subject to a water use limitation of a maximum
annual average withdrawal of nine hundred and fifty gallons per day,per connection,
subject to the five thousand gallon per day limit in RCW 90.44.050.
• If a Drought Emergency Order is issued pursuant to RCW 43.83B.405,domestic water
use at this property may be curtailed to no more than three hundred and fifty gallons per
day per connection,for indoor use only.Notwithstanding the drought restriction to indoor
use,a fire control buffer may be maintained.
We suggest that you also include these restrictions as conditions on the building permit.
Under the Supreme Court's decision in Postema,projects proposing to rely on well water have
the opportunity to demonstrate that their proposed withdrawal is not hydraulically connected to
closed or regulated surface waters,or that they can provide adequate mitigation to offset new
consumptive use impacts. This requires a site-specific analysis that is typically conducted by a
licensed hydrogeologist. If project proponents choose to conduct this type of site specific
analysis and succeeds in finding water available that does not impair adopted instream flows,
recording the water use restriction is not required.
We will follow up with your staff to outline procedures for transmitting the number of permits
issued, and applicable fees, as well as any necessary guidance on implementation of aspects of
the new law pertaining to subdivisions and comprehensive planning. Ecology staff will soon
begin coordination with the County on implementing the watershed planning aspects of the new
legislation.
Please let us know who will be the primary point of contact at the County for implementation of
the new law. Mike Gallagher,Water Resources Program Section Manager at our Southwest
Regional Office,is heading up implementation of the new legislation for the Region. His contact
information is 360 407-6058,or mike.galla%her@ecy.wa.gov.
In closing,we hope this information is helpful to Mason County. Ecology is firmly committed to
working with your staff to provide additional service as needed.
Sincerely,
Mary Verner
