FINDINGS OF FACT
Title 6 Sanitary Code Changes
1) To move wording from 6.72.030(4)under solid waste permit agreements,to 6.72.010(b)
to make clear that the Title 6 Sanitary Code applies to both residential and commercial
enterprise under Mason Country authority.
2) To change wording to indicate that the Hearing Examiner and not the Health Officer shall
hear cases of appeal.
3) To change a sentence in 6.72.040(1)to read"Allowable hulk vehicles shall be removed
from public view by a Health Department approved means".Also under this section the
word"stored will be omitted as well as the option for ornamental display.The word
"damaged"will be added to this section.These changes clarify confusion over what
defines a hulk,"storage"or"ornamental display"and that if any hulk vehicle is allowed
according to current regulation(by the size of a property)that the vehicle must be
removed from public view.
4) Wording will be added where the regulation mentions"person/s"to include other
potentially responsible parties,as listed: companies,corporations,trusts and other
business entities.

5) A portion of 6.72.040 is being deleted as it is repeated in section 6.72.030(3).
6) In the current regulation covering contaminated properties(6.73)the violation sited was
inadvertently stated incorrectly;it is not 15.11.It will now read 15.13.
CONCLUSIONS
From the preceding findings,the Mason County Board of Health and the Mason County Board of
Commissioners fmds that the Title 6 additions and revisions are consistent with county-wide
policies and finds that the amendments do comply with Washington State law and do clarify and
remove ambiguity from the regulations for the enforcement of solid waste vioaltions.
