CAPITAL FACILITIES
7. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The Capital Facilities Chapter contains the capitalfacilities element, one of the six elements
required for Mason County's Comprehensive Plan under the Growth Management Act (GMA)
(36.704.070 RCW). This element provides an inventory of existing conditions and publicly
owned facilities by quantifying capitalfacilities currently provided by Mason County or by other
jurisdictions operating in the County.
The chapter also contains goals and policies for the capital facilities operated by Mason County,
except for transportation facilities, which are discussed in the Transportation Chapter.
The capacity of the County facilities and the level of service they provide is discussed and
compared with the County's desired levels of service. The "level of service" is an objective
measure of how well services are provided to the public. Deficiencies and improvement needs
are identified, improvement costs are estimated, projects are scheduled for six and 20-year
planning horizons, and a six-year finance plan and possible financing options are discussed.
Besides the City of Shelton, there are other public organizations and speciàl districts that have
capitalfacilities and taxing authority which exist in the county. These include the school
districts, hospital districts, port districts, cemetery district, Public Utility Districts, regional
library system, and fire districts. These districts have their own governing body and capital
facilities planning. The county coordinated the comprehensive plan with these bodies, through
meetings, correspondence, and by providing draft of the comprehensive plan to these districts
for comment. A list of these districts is provided as follows:

August, 1998 - (updated December 2010)Capital Facilities
Facilitv Needs
A number of methods can be used to determine Mason County's capital facility needs over the
next six and 20-year GMA planning periods. As not all capital facilities require the same level of
analysis to determine needed improvements, different analyticaltechniques can be employed
to identify facility needs as long as they accomplish the goal of determining future need for the
capital facilities.
While the state Growth Management Act requires that level of service (LOS) standards be
established to identify transportation improvements, the need for other capital facilities can be
assessed using either LOS or planning level assumptions (WAC 365-196-320).
The advantage of using LOS standards is the ability to quantify deficiencies and identify
improvement needs. The LOS can also be used as a performance standard for concurrency by
comparing the service level being provided by a capital facility against the quantitative LOS
standard. The service is considered deficient if it does not meet the service level standard that
the County has determined it wants to deliver to its residents and users. The LOS approach
makes the most sense where there are easily quantifiable facilities or where the state has
defined the standards, such as for sewer and water facilities.
The less rigorous planning assumptions approach also has advantages. The capital facilities
planning assumptions are not quantitative measures of facility need. lnstead, they identify
facility improvements based upon the need to serve growth and development anticipated in
the land use element. This approach works best where identification of quantitative measures
would be difficult, where there are no statewide standards, or where the necessary information
or data to apply quantitative measures would be difficult or too time-consuming to obtain.
Facilities such as parks and recreation and stormwater facilities might best be handled with this
approach.

Facility needs are identified, and a six-year finance plan is developed, in section 10 for the
fol lowing County-owned-and-operated facilities.

Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated December 2010)Capital Facilities
reference the capitalfacilities plans for Grapeview, Hood Canal, North Mason, Pioneer, and
Shelton School Districts, to facilitate orderly growth and coordination in the provision of future
capital facility needs.
Co n cu rre n cv M ø n d o e m e nt
One of the Growth Management Act goals, referred to as "concurrency," is the provision of
infrastructure facilities and services to serve projected growth at the time such growth occurs,
or within a reasonable time afterwards. This starts with identifying specific facility needs using
the strategies previously discussed. Another important aspect of concurrency is the ability to
monitor the development of infrastructure improvements to assess whether they keep pace
with approved development.
Concurrency management, as it is called, involves a set of land use and permit approval
processes designed to ensure facilities and services keep pace with growth. ln some cases,
development codes could be enacted to require that specific LOS standards be promulgated
through the development of identified improvements.
ln other cases, restrictions to growth may be imposed until appropriate service standards for
capitalfacilities are achieved. Land use applications for certain development proposals, in
areas targeted for future growth, could have their approvals withheld pending concomítant
development of appropriate urban service level facilities {e.g., sewer facilities). The
municipality would be responsible for managing the concurrent development of these urban
services. Requiring individual developers to fund and implement needed improvements is one
possible funding method among a variety of other scenarios (e.g., grants, loans, and state,
federal, and private sources). Under this arrangement, the final tenant (e.g., homebuyer or
building purchaser) would ultimately pay for the new facilities through a higher initial purchase
price or through a periodic assessment. Mason County's policies for concurrency management
are contained in the following section.
2. GOALS AND POLICIES
lntroduction
Mason County's Capital Facilities Element is guided by goals and policies for the preferred
service phílosophy of the County. Goals and policies are required as part of the Capital Facilities
Element (RCW 36.704)of the overallGMA Comprehensive Plan.

3. WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITIES
lntrodudion
The County owns and operates small water and sewer systems for the Rustlewood, and Beard's
Cove communities. ln addition, the County operates a medium-sized wastewater collection
system and treatment plant for the North Bay Case lnlet area. This area was defined through
studies of the area contributing human sewage contamination to Case lnlet, and the system
service area was set accordingly. ln the smaller community-based systems, there is no planned
expansion beyond the existíng platted lots. These systems currently provide services to
approximately 1.200 customers, with the potentialto serve an additional 100. The North Bay
Case lnlet system provides service to approximately 950 customers, with additional capacity to
serve an estimated 850 additional equivalent residential units within the existing service area.
Phase I of the Belfair Water Reclamation project is under construction and is expected to be
operational by early 20L2. This Membrane BioReactor plant willtreat sewage from more
developed areas of the Belfair UGA to Class A reclaimed status. Future sewer extensions for
three additional phases will follow a schedule, which will provide service to the entire Belfair
UGA by 202s.
The following "Water" and "Wastewater" sections provide project-level detail on the planned
improvements necessary to meet state regulatory guidelines in the provision of water and
wastewater services forthese systems. Each project in each section is accompanied by a
separate project sheet, which provides a description, and justification, along with a table
depicting the estimated costs and funding sources for planning period 2011 through 2016. A
summary table that provides overall costs and funding sources for each water and sewer
system follows each section.
Financing the planned utility improvements requires the use of grants, loans, utility fees,
system development charges, developer contributions, and capital reserves. The specific
combination of funds, and the availability of grants and loans, will affect user rates for each
system as well as the timing on projects. The ability to initiate specific projects will be assessed
annually based on the urgency of need, reserve funds available, and commitments from
funding agencies to provide grants and/or loans. The decision about whether or not to proceed
with any planned project is the decision of the Mason County Board of Commissioners for
consideration in the annual budgeting and rate-setting process. To the extent possible, projects
will be funded through:
1) Rate revenues (capital reserves)
2l Grants;
11

Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated December, 2010)Capital Facilities
3) Low interest loans; or
4) developer contr¡butions
5) Some comb¡nation of L-4 above.
Project costs shown in each sect¡on range in accuracy from + or - 40% to + or - tío/o. Each
project cost sheet identifies the accuracy of the estimated costs shown, based on the following
scale:
o "Planning Level" - The least accurate of costs estimates, in the range of + or - 40%. Cost
estimates at this level are usually based on a project concept and some assessment of
relative scale, or annual program amounts commensurate with a level of activity sufficient
to accomplish the intent of the program over time.
o "Design Report" - Moderate accuracy, in the range of + or -30%. Based on design report
evaluation of options and an assessment of project elements and associated costs.
o "Engineer's Estimate" - Most accurate estimate, in the range of + or -15%. These estimates
are based on a project design or significant completion of design work.
Future Svstem Development
lncluded in the wastewater sections of this document is one additional project that is not
currently associated with the existing County-owned utility systems. The project represents
efforts to provide utility services to the west side of the Hood Canal which has been identified
as a problem with water quality due to urban densities
H ood s po rt /Skoko m i s h Area
A planning and implementation group was formed in 2006 to improve water quality in the
middle and upper reaches of Hood Canal. Sewer facility plans has been completed for the
Hoodsport RuralActivity Center, the Potlach State Park Area and major portions of the
Skokomish Tribal lands. The Potlach system will be constructed in 2011followed by the
Hoodsport Rural Activity Center and finally the Skokomish Tribal area. This project will
significantly improve the water quality in the Hood Canal.

This will require us to revisit the original sewer facility plan and address how we will maintain
sufficient capacity for the twenty-year period beyond 2010. This project outlines the need for
funding to conduct the analysis and design the next increment of capacity for the plant. The
recent economic slowdown has negatively affected the growth rate and receipt of capital

Justification: Currently only the top 16.7 feet or 120,000 gallons of the 60' 400,000 gallon
Storage tank can be considered for usable storage. The total requirement for this system
identified in the 2002 water system plan is 250,050 gallons. That document identified fire flow
as 500 gpm for 30 minutes or 15,000 gallons. That number has increased to 45,000 gallons
under the code adopted by the county since the water plan was written. Technically the system
is 150,000 gallons deficient on usable storage. The addition of a booster pump to provide
pressure to all homes with an elevation within 57' of the storage tank base will allow for the
use of the systems entire water storage capability and meet the system's storage requirements.
Mason County will apply for a grant loan package to assist in funding of this project.

4. SOLID WASTE UTILIW
Introduction
Mason County's solid waste util¡ty provides transfer and disposal operations for solid waste at
four transfer stat¡on locations, including household recyclable materials. The largest transfer
facility is located outside Shelton on Eels Hill Road. Materials collected from the other smaller
stations at Hoodsport, Union, and Belfair, are transported to the Shelton facility, where garbage
is processed into containers that are trucked to Centralia, WA. From there, the material is long-
hauled via railroad to Roosevelt Landfill in Klickitat County, located in Eastern Washington.
Household hazardous wastes (HHW) are collected and disposed of by Mason County staff at the
Shelton transfer facility. Residents in North Mason County can take their HHW to the Kitsap
County transfer station. This arrangement is established through interlocal agreement and
Mason County pays approximately 56O per customer for collection and dísposal of materials
from residents who take their materials to the Kitsap County facility.
The Shelton transfer facility is located at the former Mason County Landfill. The current utility
provídes post-closure monitoring and capital construction in support of the closed landfill. The
Shelton facility receives wastes collected by private and municipal haulers operating inside
Mason County.
The Belfair and Shelton transfer facilities are nearing capacity in terms of the tonnage they can
effectively handle on a daily basis. Growth in the Belfair area and elsewhere in the County
continues to impact operations at these facilities and capacity improvements may need to be
addressed in the future.
The following pages provide details on specific projects proposed for the current capital
facilities planning period. Project estimates range in accuracy from + or - 4O% to + or - 15%.
Each project cost sheet identifies the accuracy of the estimated costs shown based on the
following scale:
o "Planning Level" - The least accurate of costs estimates, in the range of + or - 40%. Cost
estimates at this level are usually based on a project concept and some assessment of
relative scale, or annual program amounts commensurate with a level of activity sufficient
to accomplish the intent of the program over time.
o "Design Report" - Moderate accuracy, in the range of + or -30%. Based on design report
evaluation of options and an assessment of project elements and associated costs.
. "Engineer's Estimate" - Most accurate estimate, in the range of + or -!5%. These estimates

Descríption: Annual program to ensure continued operational effectiveness of transfer station
facilities and preserve existing assets. lmprovements will include: road resurfacing, facility roof
replacements, minor building modifications, storage or handling facility construction, or
modifications to comply with regulatory requirements or preserve capacity.
Justification: Normal operation of transfer station facilities requires ongoing facility
improvements to existing fixed assets to maintain overall operational capabilities. Providing an
annual program and fundingto complete these improvements is more efficient from an
administrative perspective and prudent in terms of ensuring the longevity of existing assets.

Project Name: Belfair Household Hazardous Waste Facility lmprovements
Estimates: Design Report
Description: Design and construct a facilityto provide household hazardous waste collection
services to north county residents.
Justification: Currently north county residents must take their household hazardous waste to
the Kítsap County facility. This service is provided through an interlocal agreement that costs
S0O.OO per visit. The costs are the same no matter what type of material is dropped off at their
facility. Our own facility would save us considerable cost for disposal of less harmful materials
such as motor oil or latex paints. Operation of a county-owned facility would allow us to tailor
the hours of operation and types of material accepted to decrease these costs.

Description: This facility serves the south end of the county by providing residential drop off of
household generated hazardous wastes. The volumes of materials have been increasing
annually, and the facility is both outgrowing its current structure and behind on needed safety
improvements. Further, the changes in regulations in recent years and the near future will
necessitate increased capacity.
Justification: Due to policy changes at the state and national level, the facility itself is
inadequate to meet the standards mandated. Since some of these changes are state priorities,
state funding may be available.

Project Name: Transfer Station System lmprovements
Estimates: Planning Level
Description: This facility serves as a hub for allthe garbage in Mason County. When originally
constructed in the early 1990's, throughput was a fraction of current levels. ln order to safely
and efficiently serve the needs of the public and our commercial accounts, a second access road
with a scale is needed. Other minor improvements and enhancements will be required to
maintain the system over the next few years, such as road work, tip walls, and typical wear and
tear.
Justification: Over the past 15 years, the number of customers has grown dramatically, along
with tons exported. Steps to improve customer safety, reduce wait times, and increase
efficiency for commercial customers will allow the facility to postpone major construction for
this planning period.

Description: This facility serves the north end of the County by providing residential drop off of

will likely increase at the current high rate for the near future. Minor improvements and
enhancements will be required to maintain the system over the next few years, such as road
work, tip walls, and typical wear and tear. A wholly new facility, with a scale and compaction
equipment, ffiâV be necessary by the end of this planning period.
Justification: Currently, our system is able to support the Belfair area. However, the current
and projected growth may exceed the capacity of this facility in the relatively near future. Due
to the location, it does not make sense to increase the tonnage without exporting directly to
rail, or at least to rail contaíners. To do so, a new facility would be necessary.

5, PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES
Svstem Descriptíon
Recreatíonal opportunities in Mason County include parks for day-use activities and overnight
camping; fresh and salt water areas for boating and other water sports; facilities and
equipment for sports and play activities; and wilderness areas and other open spaces for hiking,
hunting, ORV use, and horseback riding.
Existing parks and recreation facilities in Mason County are available through a variety of public
and private entities. Federal and state facilities include camping, boating, and day-use parks.
The County-owned park system includes day-use and water access facilities, sports fields, and
related recreational areas. Other agencies providing park and recreatíonal resources include
municipalities, port districts, and public schools. Some private recreationalfacilities are open to
the public as well.
Mason County has adopted a Parks and Recreation Plan in November of 2006 and a Mason
CountyRegionalTrailsPlaninMarchof200s. Bothoftheseplansareincorporatedhereinby
reference.
County Park Facilities
The County currently manages 2L park properties in Mason County two of which are
undeveloped,andthreeothershavelargeportionsthatarealsoundeveloped. Ofthe
developed parks, two are large baseball/softball complexes, five provide saltwater access parks,
three are located on freshwater lakes, and three provide upland day use and recreation
facilities (see rreune 5-1). ln addition to the day use facilities, the County also owns and
maintains one above-ground skate park. The conditions of these facilities vary by location;
however, significant investment in facilities has been made in the last two years from Real
Estate Excise Tax proceeds (REET 2) and grant proceeds from the Recreation and Conservation
Office. The capital plan for the next six years continues this trend of investment in park
development and facility upgrades. The heavy use and demand from both county and non-
County residents are particularly high during the spring, summer and fall.
ln recent years, parks operated by Mason County have received substantial increases in visitors.
Total visits increased 52 percent from 1992 to 1993, from 180,6O0to 274,500 annual visits.
Nearly half of the total increase was at Sandhill Park, a sports park in Belfair. Sandhíll's visitation
increased by 230 percent, from 20,300 to 67,000 visits, due in large part to increased use of the
park by local baseball, softball, and soccer leagues. Sandhill Park received significant
improvements in 2006 and use of this park has continued to grow. Mason County Recreation
Area, the largest baseball/softball complex has grown in use the last several years and is now
recognized regionally as a preferred site for major tournaments. The spike in fuel prices in 2008

Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated December, 2010)capital tacil¡t¡es
and the global recession has also led to increased park use as people are staying closer to home
to recreate.
There are no facilities for overnight camping throughout the Mason County Parks system. The
last county-wide park plan was developed in 1991 and subsequently updated in 2006. Camping
options will be examined in the long-term development plan being crafted for these and other
park properties with large portions of undeveloped land. Mason County developed a new
county-wide parks plan in 2006, which includes analysis and recommendations to address
recreation needs within the county. Camping by special use permit has been approved for
Truman Glick Park and Foothills Park and Walker Park.

An inventory of all Mason County parks including federal, state, private, and County-owned
parks is listed in rnelr 5-L. Also included are the number of acres and amenities available at

6. COUNTY AND ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDINGS
System Descriptíon
Mason County owns several buildings, most of which are located in the City of Shelton, the
county seat. These buildings are used to support general County functions such as internal
management, health, public service, and general administration. Other buildings owned bythe
County include Memorial Hall, the Extension building, the two buildings on Pine Street, the
Public Works Campus and the Belfair Public Works Shop. TABLE Vl.6-L describes these sites.
Locations of the facilities within the Shelton Campus are shown in FIGURE 6-1.
Memorial Hall and the two buildings on Pine Street are located in Shelton, a few blocks from
the main campus area. The Public Works campus is located about 4 miles north of Shelton, on
the northwest side of Highway L01. The Belfair Public Works Shop is situated on the north
shore of Hood Canal about 3 miles from Belfair.
lnventory
Mason County's administrative offices and departments housed in the buildings are listed in
TABLE Vl.6-2. Also provided is a summary of current office area allocations for the County
departments and departmental functions.
Most of the County's administrative offices are located in the Shelton Campus, a four-square
block section of the downtown area. At this location, the County operates from 23 publicly
owned buildings. These include the Courthouse, Jail, Juvenile Detention Facility, Building l,
Building ll, Building lll, Building lV, Building V, Building Vl, Building Vll, Building Vlll, and Building
lX. Other county administrative offices are located at Building Xl (Cooperative Extension
Building), the 3'd & Pine building (the Sheriff Office), and Public Works campus.
Facility Needs
Facility needs are being developed through a space planning effort currently being updated by
the County. This work is based on an assessment of agency needs related to growth in both the
six- and 2O-year planning horizons. While planning is continuing, the county has identified the
space needs for County administration, law enforcement, and criminaljustice facilities. Specific
planned improvements for the first six-year planning period and associated financing are
detailed in Section 10, Finance Plan. Based on the "Space Standards Manual" published by the
State of Washington Department of General Administration, 251 square feet are needed per
employee. ln addition, certain governmental functions have special requirements for facilities.
Currently the county has a deficit in space. Significant additional space will be required over the
next six and twenty years if the county is to offset that deficit and meet the future growth. The
information is summarized in Table 6-3. Needs analysis and facility planning was done in 1995
and 1996. The background information and analysis can be found in "Update to Mason County

The Washington State Patrol is no longer investigating collisions or performing active
enforcement activities on County Roads as of July 1, 2009. This policy decision has allowed the
Troopers to focus enforcement and investigative efforts to state highways. Currently the Mason
County Sheriffs Office has five deputies and one sergeant assigned to traffic enforcement and
collision investigation on county roads. The Washington State Patrol currently has eight
troopers assigned to Mason County. Approximately 40 percent of all of the collisions in the
county occur on county roads.
With the deployment of the Sheriff's Traffic Team, our partnership with the Washington State
Patrol has resulted in increased DUI arrests, increased speed enforcement while DUI and speed
related collisions have decreased. This partnership is translating into safer highways in Mason
County.

The present Mason County Jail opened in 1986 with a population capacity of 45 inmates. ln
1989, capacity was increased to 51, and in 1991 it was increased to 58 beds with floor space for
106. ln 1993 the average daily population (ADP)was 62. ln 2004 the ADP was at 95 - 1,46%
over capac¡ty.
The Direct Supervision Un¡t (DSU) opened on October L,2006, bringing the ja¡l capacity up to
128 inmates. ADP for 2005 was 111, ADP for 2006 was 119 and ADP for 2007 was LL3.7. On
September t5,2009 DSU was closed after the jail had to reduce staff by five (5) FTEs bringing
the jail's capacity down to L08 inmates. For the first eight (8) months of 2010 the ADP has
stood at 103. Reductions in staff due to mandated budgetary cuts at the Sheriffs Office
prompted the closing of DSU causing the reduction in jail capacity.
Strotegic Plan
The Mason County Sheriff's Office has no current formalized strategic plan at this time;
however, the creation of a formal strateg¡c plan is currently being considered.
Alte rn ote Fu n d i ng Sou rces
The Mason County Sheriff's Office continues to explore alternative funding sources including
Federal Homeland Security Grants, Justice Assistance Grants, and grants from other federal,
state, and private sources. Additionally the Mason County Sheriffs Office is committed to
forming community partnerships with public and private agencies to more efficiently provide
services and utilize facilities to maximum efficiency.
Sheriffs Focility
The Mason County Sheriffs Office is currently housed at322 North 3'd Street in Shelton. The
Office transitioned to this location from the Mason County Courthouse starting in December,
2009 and was mostly completed by February 2010. Police Operations, Records, Finance,
Administration, and Evidence are currently housed at this facility. The acquisition of this facility
has greatly enhanced the office's ability to perform its mission with much greater efficiency.
Spdce Allocotíon Críte ria
Standard space allocations methods do not apply to all areas of the Sheriffs Office because of
the diverse functions found within the department such as training, locker rooms, K-9 holding,
briefing room, interview rooms, public receptions, fingerprinting, criminal complaints., evidence
processing and others. Space for many of the above mission essentialfunctions is not
adequate.

Storoge Needs
The most important need of the Sheriff's Office is that of evidence storage. Property taken in
by the Sheriff's Office is held in trust by the Sheriffs Office. Therefore it is the Sheriffs
responsibilityto ensure its security, preservation, chain of custody, as well as its proper return,
sale or disposal according to law. Currently, most of the Sheriffs evidence is being held in a
secured designated area at the Sheriffs located at322 North 3'd St. Some items continue to be
held on the third floor of the Mason County Court House. Moving evidence items to the 3'd
Street facility continues. All items in storage at the Court House are expected to be moved by
20L7.
The Mason County Sheriffs Office also stores vehicles held as evidence, homicide vehicles and
large evidence items at the old Mason County Public Works facility located on the Johns Prairie
Road. Upgrades are needed forthisfacilityto ensure security, preservation, and chain of
custody. The current facility does not meet industry standards for security, processing,
preservation and chain of custody.
Additionally the Mason County Sheriffs Office must have covered secure storage for its three
boats, light armored vehicle, ATV, skid car and trailer along with spare and mothballed vehicles.
Additional secure storage for other training equipment, tactical equipment, search and rescue
equipment and ordinance that is not routinely issued to officers and needs to be in a secure
location are currently stored at the old Mason County Public Works facility located on the Johns
Prairie Road. This facility is regarded only as a temporary facility as it is not equipped with
running water and since the facility is now leased. Permanent facilities had been planned for
equipment storage and large evidence at the newly built public works facility, however that
plan was scrapped prior to construction to bring the project in under the original budget
allocation.
Courts
The Mason County District courts handled L1,L95 cases in 2004, mostly infractions and
misdemeanors. Domesticviolence and civil cases make up lessthan L3 percentof the District
Court caseload. Mason County Superior Court handled 2,54L cases in 2004, with civíl cases
being the most common, followed by criminal actions, domestic cases, juvenile offender cases,
and probate/guardianship cases, ín that order. ¡tstt7-2 summarizes the caseload for the two

ln 1.996, the Facilities Steering Committee and the Criminal Justice Working Team, work¡ng with
a consultant, assessed future County building needs. A report was issued jointly by the
Facilities Steering Committee and Criminal Justice Working Team in 1996, and updated in 1999
("Mason County Space Needs Analysis for inclusion in the Mason County Master Plan update,
June 16, 1999") which identified four capital facility projects. Space needs are not determined
by a simple set of standards but by a comprehensive approach to the criminal justice systems
program needs. The projected cost of this plan and potentialfunding sources are incorporated

8. STORMWATER MANAG EM E NT
Svstem Description
Existing stormwater facilities in Mason County include both natural systems and built collection
and conveyance. Existing systems generally handle runofffrom State and County Roads and
existing development. Run-offcontrol is limited to new construct¡on which is managed through
requirements in L992 Ecology Stormwater Manual. More stringent control is proposed forthe
Urban Growth areas and the Hoodsport Rural Activity Center by implementing the 2005 Ecology
Stormwater Manual and Low-lmpact Development techniques'
lncreases in the amount of residential and commercial impervious surfaces have increased
stormwater runoff in the county. ln addition, forestry practices, such as logging, and new road
construction, have also increase runoff and created sedimentation problems in a number of the
county's creeks and streams resulting in diminished water quality and loss of critical aquatic
habitat. Stormwater runoff, erosion, sedimentation, habitat loss and flooding problems will
likely continue in the County especially in the designated urban growth areas if strong control
measures are not implanted.
lnventory
Mason County has adopted a Stormwater Management Ordinance (Mason County Code
Section 14.48). This ordinance adopts by reference the 1992 edition of the Washington State
Department of Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual, with the exception of the Minimum
Requirements chapter, for use in designing best management practices (BMPs)for new
development and other improvements. The ordinance defines specific minimum requirements
and other approval standards for development on all ranges of parcel sizes
The City of Shelton has prepared a Surface Water Drainage Utility Master Plan. Their master
plan identifies existing problems in the city and offers recommendations for improvements.
The city has scheduled improvements based on the existing master plan; the city intends to
update the plan before 20L3.
The county has adopted stormwater plans for the Belfair/Allyn Urban Growth Area, and the
Hoodsport Rural Activity Center, as well as a more general plan for the entire county. The
specific plans and the more general countywide plan set the stage for the development of a
utility that will implement programmatic and capital improvement projects to manage
Stormwater. Activities will focus on addressing flooding in the county, improving the water
quality in South Puget Sound and protecting critical aquatic habitat. Stormwater programs and
capital improvements will be lunched through direct developer contributions as new
developmentoccurs; grants and loans; a dedicated portion of the Real Estate ExciseTax (REET
2) collected by the county; and utility fees.

Fdcilítv Needs
Mason County continues the development of a comprehensive countywide Stormwater
Management Plan. This planning process focuses on a review of existing stormwater policies
and the County's stormwater regulations. ln addition, a rev¡ew for regulatory consistency with
the County's CriticalAreas Ordinance (CAO) and Low lmpact Development (LlD) Standards will
be completed. The plan addresses changing state, federal, and regional regulatory
requirements. This includes the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase
ll permit program of the Clean Water Act. This act controls water pollution by regulating point
sourcesthat discharge pollutants into waters of the state. Also,the plan willconsider
implementation of the 2005-2007 Puget Sound Conservation Plan as well as consider the
adoption of the Department of Ecology (DOE) 2005 Stormwater Design Manual for Western
Washington in areas of the County beyond the designated Urban Growth Areas. The plan will
address evolving water quality needs affecting Hood Canal and South Puget Sound. Also the
plan will delineate program objectives and capital facility needs and identify funding sources to
implement required act¡on elements.
The County will begin community environmental education and training activities in the Belfair,
Allyn, Shelton and Hoodsport areas. This program will expand to other areas of sensitive water
quality in 2009 / 2070 and continuing throughout the county in later years.
The identification of capital projects to address both regional stormwater problems and the
need to retrofit existing development will complete during the planning process. Stormwater
planning in the urban growth areas and water quality monitoring by the County's
Environmental Health Section have identified needed capital projects. These projects will be
address from revenues secured from grants provided bythe state. Revenues generated by the
utility will fund future capital facilities.
Flooding problems in the Skokomish River watershed have been addressed in a Comprehensive
Flood Hazard Management Plan. This plan defines a total program of river maintenance
activities, valley creek maintenance measures, flood protection measures, and flood warning
and emergency response procedures.
Mason County adopted the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance in August of 2008.

Description: Upgrading and construction of storm water facilities around the County will
provide treatment and proper control of storm water, reducing the risk of property damage and
contamination in our waterways. ln support of the new Storm Drainage Ordinances, Mason
County will continue community education and training in the Belfair, Allyn, Shelton and
Hoodsport areas. This program will expand to other areas of sensitive water quality continuing
throughout the county in later years. The current Stormwater Management Plans for Allyn,
Belfair and Hoodsport were adopted in 2OO7 /2008. The Countywide Mason County Program
was adopted in 2009. The County will continue to expand the areas covered by the Storm
Water Utility until all County areas are adopted.
Justifications: The criteria for development of storm water facilities will be driven by the
population and identified contamination of each area. The State of Washington has identified
several areas wíthin Mason County where contamination is affecting the water quality of our
bays and lakes.

lntroduction
Mason County Public Works is responsible for engineer¡ng, construction, operat¡on and
ma¡ntenance of approximately 640-miles of county roads. Currently staff is housed on the
Shelton campus, the Central Shop on Johns Prairie Road and the Belfair Shop.
Building 8, located on the Shelton campus, includes administrative services, accounting
services, environmental services, engineering and construct¡on serv¡ces and geographic
information services. The lnformation Services Section of Equipment Rental & Revolving Fund
(ER&R) is located a block away in Building 9. Road Maintenance and the Vehicle Maintenance
Section of ER&R share the Central Shop facility located on Johns Prairie Road approximately 3-
milesnorthofshelton. Asmall maintenancecrewislocatedatthesatelliteshopinBelfairto
service roads in North Mason County.
Public Works has outgrown the Shelton campus facilities. The buildings located at the central
shop are over S0-years old, overcrowded and inefficient. The vehicle maintenance shop lacks
several modern amenities like insulation, women's restroom and building ventilation systems.
A lack of sufficient storage facilities results in expensive road maintenance equipment being
stored outs¡de in the elements.
As a result, Public Works proposes to develop a master plan and construct a multi-use facility to
house the entire department. This will result in better communication and coordination of the
various sections in the department. A shared multi-use facility will provide more efficient use
of space and county resources. The Belfair Shop, however, will continue to operate as a
satellite facility.
Financing the planned multi-use facility requires the use of grants, loans, and county road
funds. Project costs shown range in accuracy from + or - 4O% to + or - t5%. Each project cost
sheet identifies the accuracy of the estimated costs shown, based on the following scale:
o "Planning Level" - The least accurate of costs estimates, in the range of + or - 4O%. Cosl
estimates at this level are usually based on a project concept and some assessment of
relative scale, or annual program amounts commensurate with a level of activity sufficient
to accomplish the intent of the program over time.
o "Design Report" - Moderate accuracy, in the range of + or -3Ùo/o. Based on design report
evaluation of options and an assessment of project elements and associated costs.
. "Engineer's Estimate" - Most accurate estimate, in the range of + or -75%. These estimates
are based on a project design or significant completion of design work.

Justifications: The current Belfair Shop is functionally obsolete; it is located in a residential
neighborhood adjacent to Hood Canal and does not have its own water source. The Shop is
hooked up to the neighbor's well. Concerns have been expressed about the proximity of the
material storage to the Canal. The site is woefully ínadequate for the road maintenance services
being provided to the north end of the County. The land trade for the North Mason School
District's Sand Hill property was concluded in March of 2009, so there will be no capital outlay

lntroduction
This section discusses Mason County cap¡tal facilities needs and related funding sources. As
required underthe Growth ManagementAct (CMA)a six-yearfinance plan has been prepared
for the years 20L1 to at least the year 2O!6 for those facilities currently, or to be, owned and
operated bythe County.
The following facilities are included in the financial planning:
r Water and Wastewater Systems
(Appendix C)
. Solid Waste Management Facilities
r County Administrative and Law Enforcement Buildings
. Public Works Facilities
' Parks and Recreation
Only County owned and operated facilities, except for the community-based wastewater
systems for rural activity centers, are included in the finance analysis. Several alternatives have
been suggested to dealwith the problem of providing water and wastewater service in areas
outside the existing utility service area in which growth is forecast. The service area for the solid
waste utility is county-wide.
The finance plan identifies reasonably reliable funding sources, and forecasts revenue and
expenses to at least the year 20L6. Funding varies depending on the facility. The different
financing methods, public or private, could have significant implications on the cost of utility
service. Potential funding sources that could be used to fund unanticipated needs and shortfalls
are also discussed.

Stormwoter Monøoement
Mason County created a stormwater utility in 2008. The initíal emphasis for Stormwater
management will be placed on the Belfair/Allyn area. The utility outlines future expansion to
other areas of the County with the whole county being included within the boundaries fo the
utility by 20L3. the County also adopted the 2005 Department of Ecology Stormwater Drainage
Manual and Low lmpact Development Standards which will be enforced in the Belfair and Allyn
UGAs first with the entire county being subjected to the requirements as water quality
monitoring dictates. The following tables outline expected Capital projects in the stormwater
utility in 20II-20L6.

Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a financial forecast for the Belfair sewer project, to
support the County's efforts to receive GMA approval for the project. The forecast will be
updated in2O1,L as the project is completed and true costs can be used in the analysis.
A financial forecast was prepared with the Wastewater Management Plan. Since completion of
that document there have been significant changes to financial assumptions including
additional service areas, updated capital costs, and additional secured grants.
The County has existing sewer utilities with policies in place to support fiscally and financially
prudent operation of those entities. This forecast presents a rate forecast that modifies some
of those policy assumptions where it may bring the rate closer to an "affordable" range. Doing
so may bring on financial risk, and so two forecast scenarios are presented here: a
"conservative" scenario and an "affordability" scenario. ln the conservative scenario, the
County's current policies continue to be used in the Belfair area. ln the affordability scenario,
the County uses all policy options to make the rates as affordable as possible in the initial years'
Data Sources and Assumptions
The capital financing analysis uses capital costs, project timing, and capital inflation rate as
projected and provided by CH2M Hill. Also provided were existing ERUs and new annual
connections, projected O&M costs and estimated tim¡ng of capital spending. Each set of data
was provided for four different phases including: (1) lnitial Connection (this is the core service
area evaluated in the Master Plan, (2) Old Belfair Hwy Connection, (3) New Kirk Road
Connection, and (4) Southern Connection.
At the time of the forecast presented in the Master Plan, the County had secured S16 million in
grants and $2.4 million in state loans (SRF). The County has since secured a total of 524 million
in grants and has $3 million of state loans available.
The forecast period includes 2008 throu gh 2025- However, actual 2007 costs are included in the
summary and financing analysis in order to consider total costs and total resources for the
project.

The capital costs for the lnitial Connection are project ed 2OO7 through 2070, with year 1 of
operation, 2OL1. This íncludes treatment plant costs for enough capacity to serve the four
identified service areas (atthe projected rate of growth), aswellasthe infrastructure planned
to serve the lnitial Connection serv¡ce area.
Capital costs to build infrastructure to connect customers in the Old Belfair Hwy Connection are
planned for 2OT4through 2016 with first year of operation targeted for 2077.
The New Kirk Road connection is projected to begin service in 2020 with capital spending in the
two years preceding, and the Southern Connection in 2025 after infrastructure is built in 2024.
Customer Base
The customer base is defined in Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), and it is projected to grow
al5o/o annually. The Sewer Master Plan completed in 2007 forecasted growth at about 9%
annually, though, the financial projections in that plan also used the more conservative rate of
5% annually.
The customer base is defined with two types of service connections: existing and new. The
analysis distinguishes between developed properties with existing permitted septic systems (as
ofJan 1 2OO8) and new connections since the sewer project has begun.
The following table summarizes the annual ERU projection used in the forecast.

Capital Facilities Charge - CFC (conversion/connection charges)
One option that could be considered is a Capital Facilities Charge. Calculation of a connection
charge for the Belfair sewering project considers total project costs, 2025 customer base,
secured grants toward funding the identified capital costs and reduction of unit costs to
customers paying a ULID to fund a portion of their capital costs.
Separate charges are calculated for conversions (existing development) and new development.
ln order to distinguish the separate charges, the connection charge for existing development is
referred to as a "conversion charge," while the charge for new development continues to be
referred to as a "connection charge."
The charges are calculated as three separate components of the total. One reason is so that if a
developer chooses to build and finance particular infrastructure ahead of the County doing so,
there is a clear dollar amount per ERU of credits that they may receive toward their connection
charge, based on the type of project they are building and for how many ERU units. Another is
to properly reflect the Old Belfair Hwy Connection ULID contribution and adjust their
connection charge accordingly. And finally, it is done to provide an opportunity for existing
development (as defined in the ERU section)to benefit from available grants toward reduction
of their treatment unit cost. The total unit cost before adjustments is about 530,000 per ERU
(using the number of ERUs projected in 2025).
81
t219lzOtO
Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated December, 2010)Capital Facilities
The ULID-funded projects (in the Old Belfair Hwy Connection service area) are then deducted
from the cost total. The ERU basis is also adjusted to recognize ERUs served by the ULID-
funded projects.
The number of ERUs served by the identified treatment costs throu gh 2025 total 1,783. ERUs
served by the trunk and collection costs after removing the Old Belfair Hwy Connection portion
total 1,413.
Capital Financing
As discussed in the Master Plan, utility formation requires consideration of unique cash flow
constraints. An existing utility has an existing revenue stream and some level of cash reserves
to support capital financing and debt repayment. ln the case of a new utility, capital costs will
be incurred preceding a revenue stream from a rate-paying customer base. Even use of grant
funds requires approximately 60 days of financing since funds are dispersed on a
reimbursement basis. The capital financing analysis developed for this rate projection uses a
mix of the County's funding and financing options to complete 2OO7 through 2010 capital
spending preceding connection of customer base.
The capital financing analysís considers use of the lowest cost funding options first and balances
the total financing need with those that have a greater rate impact. The financing priority is as
follows: (a)secured grants (WA Departmentof Commerce), (b)secured state loans (SRF), (c)
accumulated cash reserves (from CFCs or projected Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds), and (d)
revenue bonds.
An exception to this priority list is that the County is planning to fund the Old Belfair Hwy
Connection trunk and collection line costs with a ULID. The County would borrow funds to
finance those costs, and they would be repaid through property assessments within the service
area boundary.
ln order to have funds available to finance the first 60 days of grant use, a combination of SRF
and grant use is projected to fund capital costs for each of the four years of capital spending.
Because SRF repayment begins the fiscal year after the first draw, debt service obligations are
projected begin ahead ofyear one ofoperation and therefore require another County resource
for repayment. The County pledged 5200,000 annually of REET monies from the General Fund
beginning in 2009 to help fund the project. These funds alfow the County to make SRF
payments that are due ahead of the 2011 first year of operation. Without the REET funds, the
County would not be able to utilize all lowest cost financing options first, but rather would need
to issue revenue bonds and capitalize the interest for the period preceding utility revenue
collection.
82
t2lsl20to
Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated December, 2010)Capital Facilities
Revenue bonds are needed to balance the net financing need after use of all available grants,
state loans and any available cash reserves. Revenue bonds not only affect rates through debt
repayment obligation, but also carry a security requlrement, bond coverage. Bond coverage
defines an annual minimum level of revenue the utility must collect. The coverage factor is a
factor applied to the utility's revenue bond payment in each year of repayment. lt requires
revenues be sufficient to make the bond repayment as well as an additional percentage of that
amount. For example a bond coverage factor of I.25 requires that rate revenue (along with any
other eligible revenues) be sufficient to fund annual operating and maintenance expenses plus
L25% of the revenue bond payment. Coverage will be discussed further with the rate
projections.
The following table summarizes planned annual financing of the capital costs for this project.

The County is planning on a ULID to finance the Old Belfair Hwy Connection infrastructure
costs, planned for 2014 through 20L6, totaling 59,570,000 in current dollars and S15,930,949 in
projected future dollars. The County would issue debt for the projected StO mill¡on total and
repayment would occur through annual assessment revenue collected from the Old Belfair Hwy
Con nection properties.
Secured grant funds are used from 2AO7 through 20L0, totaling $Z+ mill¡on. SRF loan proceeds
are projected to be spent from 2008 through 20L0. The balance of capital financing needed for
the lnitial Connection period ¡s S15,312,100. This consists of a projected 511.8 million in
conventional municipal revenue bonds and 53.5 million of short-term financing.
The purpose of the short-term financing is to allow the County to use CFC revenue from
conversions and new connections in 2011to reduce the rate burden from debt repayment.
Based on results of the connection charge analysis, an expected 54.l million of CFC revenue is
anticipated to be collected in 201L. Of that, $+OO,OOO is planned to support existing annual
debt service obligations, leaving S3.7 mill¡on available for project costs. Since capital financing
is completed before customers connect, it is assumed the County could secure short-term
financing for what could be repaid with the net available 2011 CFC revenue. This reduces the
debt repayment obligation from rates.

On July 5, 2008, the 2-year munic¡pal bond yield was 2.75%. Assuming this interest rate and a

The above capital financing summary represents a rate scenario in which some level of
available capital funds are used directly for debt repayment for rate relief, rather than reserved
and available for cash-funding capital. The most conservative scenario does not consider
capital revenues for debt repayment (with the except¡on of the short-term financing). They are
reserved in the Capital Fund and used to cash-fund future projects, which would reduce the
need for future revenue bonds.
The following table shows the capital financing summary for the more conservative forecast, in
which capital revenues are not utilized for debt repayment and are reserved in the Capital Fund
to cash-fund future projects.
Table 6. Summary of Capital Financing 2007-2025 - Conservative Scenario
The result is that no additional revenue bond borrowing is required after the lnitial Connection
financing and $15 million of capital reserves fund the remainder of projected capital costs (with
the exception of the ULID).

Revenue
There are four types of revenue considered to meet annual cash obligations. These include
revenue from rates, interest earnings on the operating fund, and use of REET funds and CFC
revenue toward debt repayment. ln order to provide the greatest level of rate relief, a scenario
is provided that uses !OO% of REET funds and 5400,000 per year of CFC revenue (which
represents about 7O% of total CFC revenue initially, going to under 2O%by 2025l'toward annual
debt repayment. The conservative alternative is that REET funds are used only for debt
repayment that precedes utility operation. ln the remainder of the forecast, REET funds are
reserved for cash-funding future capital. CFC revenue is also reserved for cash-funding future
capital rather than supporting annual debt repayment obligations.
REET funds and CFC revenue are also considered in the coverage calculation. The County's
bond counsel has indicated that dedicated REET funds would be eligible revenue for the
coverage calculation and that the County could specifically write them in to a bond covenant as
an eligible revenue source. The risk is the potential that the County will not collect sufficient
REET funds to make the full 5200,000 support to the utility in a given year. Similarly, due to the
variable nature of revenue collection from CFCs, which are also subject to economic conditions,
there is risk associated with including CFCs in the coverage calculation as eligible revenue.
Typically, coverage is tested at a higher factor when including CFCs.
The two scenarios vary in coverage calculation in that the conservative scenario tests coverage
at a L.25 factor and excludes REET funds and CFCs as eligible revenues and the scenario that
targets affordability includes REET funds and 75% (an element of conservatism within this
scenario) of annual CFC revenue, though tests at a higher coverage factor of 1.50.
The higher rate revenue need of the total cash and total coverage obligations becomes the
basis for setting rates. Coverage is the driving factor in most years before the second service
area begins operation. The total rate obligation, divided by the total ERUs in each year results
in a monthly unit cost per ERU. Because this amount varies annually and typically trends down
with ERU growth, operating reserves are managed to set a single rate for periods within the
forecast.
Sewer Connection Zone Characterization
lnítid I Connection Zone :
The area consists of scattered residential and the "core" commercialcorridorforthe Belfair
community. A majority of the commercial development is underutilized because of little
L2l9l2OLO
Mason County Comprehensive Plan

organized infrastructure, especially sewers. The area is the most problemat¡c for the
contribution of pollutants to Hood Canal. The County has secured funds to construct a
collection system and a Membrane BioReactor (MBR) treatment facility to serve the area along
State Route # 3 which transverses the length of Belfair. Following the construction and
commissioning of the NBR treatment plant all properties within 500 feet of the initial sewers
lines will be required to connect to the Belfair sewer system. All on-site expenses incurred for
connection will be borne by the property owner. Once connection occurs a monthly utility rate
will be collected from each property.
Old Belfair Highway Connection:
The area is a larger urban density residential community north of the Belfair "cote" commercial
corridor. Many of the owner occupied structures are pre-and early posts World War ll stock.
The structures use on-site systems as their method of sewage disposal. Because of older on-site
systems, denser development patterns and high ground water tables the area likely
contributing nitrates and fecal contamination to the canal. The area is low-to moderate income
and financing large sewer improvements will be difficult without Federal and state assistance.
The county will relay on grants and loans and County supported Utility Local lmprovement
Districts (ULID)to develop sewers in the area.
Newkirk Roød Connection Zone:
The area is divided into two sectors. The area to the north is vacant, larger parcels held by four
developers. lt is planned and zoned for commercial and industrial development. The area to
thesouthiscomprisedofvacantpropertiesstill inlargeparcelswithasingleowner. Thelandis
planned and zoned for higher destiny residential development. There is current demand for the
development of the northern area. The development of the sewer collection system to serve
the northern area will occur as the MBR plant is developed at developer expense. The southern
area will remain in large tracts until near the end of the UGA planning period.
Southern Connection:
The area is the most difficult to develop because of environmental constraints. There is some
scattered low-density residentialdevelopment but most of the land remains in large
undeveloped tracts. Portions of the area will be impacted by the development of the Belfair by-
pass. The properties will remain vacant untilthe later years of the planning period.
