Associated Permits: Building Permit 248911, RLC Permit 248912, Septic Report 248920, Well Report 248917 Lot:4.16 acres Critical Area Buffer: 1.18 acres Total Project Footprint: 2.98 acres Timber Harvest: 2.41 acres Proposal: Is too clear approximately 2.41 acres of timber on 2.98 acres of the property and changing the cover-type on the 2.41 acres from trees to grass pasture for grazing.The nature of the project is essentially a timber harvest with additional slash abatement and some stump removal. No building construction,excavation, site grading, cuts/fills or impervious surfaces are considered by this proposal. Upon completion of timber harvest clean up, the site will be seeded with an appropriate grass seed for grazing purposes as advised by WA Dept. of Agriculture or Extension Service. Project Access: The project will use 100 feet of 12 ft. wide temporary un-improved road for logging purposes. No rock will be used and the road will be obliterated and re-seeded upon project completion. Access will use 1.3 miles of private maintained existing road. This road connects to the public infrastructure (E Harstine Isl. Rd.). No road access permit is expected to be required. Soil: Harstine gravelly ashy sandy loam on 15 to 30 percent slope. Parent material is sandy glacial drift with an influence of volcanic ash over dense glaciomarine deposit (till). Depth to restrictive layer is 20 to 39 inches. Drainage class is moderately well drained (hydrologic soil group B). Available water in the upper 60 inches is about 4.2 inches (low). Depth to water table varies between 2 to 3 feet. This is supported by septic system design soil log (permit#SWG 94-0743). Topography: Northwest oriented ridgetop with complex side slopes. The majority of the project lies between the elevations of 140 to 180 foot (top of ridge); this is a 40 foot vertical change. Based on the project location to this topography the projects location is at the very top of the water shed. Water accumulation is expected to be low due to lack of external sources. Slopes: Using Mason County 10 foot contour data in ArcMap, cross section lines were constructed to measure slopes. The slopes fluctuate on the project area with 82%of the area being<30%, 12% being 30 to 40%and 6% being>40%slopes. Approximately 80%of the project area is<15%slope and this occurs on the southern portion of the parcel. Drainage: No streams, lakes, or wetlands are found in the projects foot print. Although there is an adjacent "F" type classified stream found 150 feet away from the project boundary. Given the soil type is classified as moderately well drained, precipitation is expected to readily permeate. The change in vegetation cover is not expected to change the water available to stream. The project is also not expected to change any drainage patterns or increase runoff based on EPA runoff calculator. Critical Area: There is a stream identified on site map as stream "A" which has a DNR water type classification of F. This is a stream that is > 2 feet wide, has a gradient of <16% and may support fish. This stream is located along northern property boundary and has been verified. This stream will be protected with a 150 foot vegetation area. The size of this vegetation area is 1 acre which is 25% of the lot area. The stream morphology is low gradient (5%) and is modestly restricted in a U shaped bottom. The bottom has an average width of 31 feet as measured from contour lines. As expected with low gradient/low velocity streams,very little to no bank scouring or cutting was observed. Harvest Method and Expected Use: Even-aged harvest using tracked equipment i.e. shovel or excavator for yarding. Future use of the harvested area is a pasture for grazing by post-harvest grass seeding. Element 1 Project Boundary Marking: As stated in the Forest Practice Notification application, the projects boundary will be clearly marked with glo-pink surveyor's ribbon on spacing that is clearly visible between each ribbon i.e. one can see at a minimum the two adjacent ribbons.The corners of the project boundary will be marked by hanging two ribbons. So as not to cause confusion when reviewing the site, all interior activities will be marked with glo-blue surveyor's ribbon i.e. temporary road and landing location. Element 2 Construction Access: Access will be from a private driveway on to E Hedlund Drive (private road). This driveway is already established. Element 3 Flow Rate Control: Precipitation is the only source of water that will affect this project site. This is expected to be controlled mainly by adopting project timing restriction found in MCC 8.52.140 (4) (B) (v) of operating only between May 1 to October 15 during the clearing phase. This time period is supported by historical precipitation records. The flow direction from the majority of the project site (77%) is away from the critical areas. The average slope in this area is 12.75%. The critical area will be additionally protected by a 150 foot undisturbed vegetation buffer. The soil type is rated as moderately well drained (hydrologic soil group B) and is expected to absorb most if not all of the expected precipitation. The change in vegetation cover is not expected to change the water available to stream "A" because there is Element 10 Control De-watering: N/A(No de-watering is anticipated). Element 11 Maintain BMP's: It is recommended that the contractor and applicant follow BMP's; 5457, S458 and C150 and based on these periodic inspections take steps to address any signs of erosion. Any discoveries should be recorded as to time,date,problem and actions taken to address. Element 12 Manage the Project: This project will be managed by the applicant who lives on site. The management will focus on timing (per MCC 8.52.140 (4) (B) (v)) and the BMP's as outlined in this narrative. Erosion will be controlled by keeping any runoff velocity low and directed towards non-sensitive areas. Stabilization will be accomplished as soon as practicable based on BMP C120 and no later than October 1 of the year in which the logging is completed. (Enclosures) no significant changes in the existing site conditions i.e. impervious surfaces. The project is also not expected to change any drainage patterns or increase runoff once fully vegetated. Element 4 Sediment Control: Erosion is the displacement of surface soil. It is generally associated with surface water concentration i.e. puddles, ponds, lakes and wetlands, which once they have achieved their maximum storage capacity the excess water will seek a path to another vessel that is always at a lower elevation. As water seeks this path it has the potential to pick up amounts of organic material, light soil particles and very small rocks. The ability of water to carry this load depends on water volume and velocity. Volume is controlled by the size of area where water is allowed to concentrate and the velocity is controlled by the change in elevation. There can be extreme change in elevation but without water concentration, erosion is unlikely to occur. Development activities associated with water concentration are excavation (ponding), soil compaction (infiltration), rutting (flow velocity) and impervious surfaces (infiltration). This project proposes no building construction, excavation, site grading, cuts/fills or impervious surfaces. The project does propose to log, abate slash and remove some stumps. This type of activity may cause soil compaction and rutting if soil moisture is high i.e. wet. Scheduling this project during the annual dry period should significantly address this. Although this activity will also roughen up the surface which can aid in reducing runoff velocity, vegetation establishment, increases infiltration and provides sediment traps (BMP C130). In addition the site will be re-seeded with grass for pasture per BMP C120 and S443. If necessary, water bars will be employed in skid roads where shape and slope would encourage water concentration and velocity (BMP C203). Element 5 Soil Stabilizing: All the disturbed area will be seeded with grass as recommended by WA Department of Agriculture or WA Extension Service for grazing purposes (BPM C120 and S443). For temporary stabilization if necessary the operation may employ straw to protect exposed areas of soil per BMP C121. Element 6 Slope Protection:The project does not include any cut or fill slopes. The natural slopes will be protected by grass seedling per BMP C120. Element 7 Drain Inlets: N/A(No drainage structures are involved in this project) Element 8 Channels and Outlets: N/A(No channels or outlets are involved in this project) Element 9 Pollutants Control: POL's will be involved with this project. The contractor will follow BMP's; S414 and S419. Any significant spills will be contained, cleaned up and reported if required. If fertilizer is used, it will be stored, handled and applied according to label and following recommendations found in BMP S443.

Parcel#: 220247690021 Lot created 7/25/1986(4.16 total acres).The lot is a trapezoid in shape. Lot dimensions are an average width of 258 ft. and average length of 701 ft. Address:411 E Hedlund Drive,Shelton WA DOR Code: 19-Residential—Vacation and Cabin Current Land Use: Is a mixed use of Residential on Forestland. Residence built © 1994 Property History: Review of historical aerial imagery shows the project area was harvested © 1985. There is a logged off area (© 2005)that lays northwest of the project area that resides on slopes similar to the project's area.There is also an area that resides directly northeast of the project that was logged © 2020 and is on similar slopes.A review of aerial images in five year increments of the 2005 logging, did not show any obvious signs of erosion or slope failures.This is also true for the area logged in 2020.

MCC 8.52.040(5) (D):A farm or forest operation shall be free from excessive or arbitrary regulation. MCC 8.52.030"Reasonable use" means a legal concept that has been articulated by federal and State of Washington courts in regulatory taking cases. Proiect Information Proposal: Is too clear approximately 2.41 acres of timber(58%of total property)on 2.98 acres of the property(71.7%of total property)and changing the cover-type from trees to grass pasture for grazing. The nature of the project is essentially a timber harvest with additional slash abatement. A pasture is still an open space usage. No building construction,excavation,site grading, cuts/fills or impervious surfaces are considered by this proposal. Land Cover:The dominate land cover type is forest.There is some disturbance (timber harvest © 2020) in this cover northeast of the project on slopes very similar to those found on the project. Soil: Harstine gravelly ashy sandy loam as identified by NRCS soil survey. Parent material is sandy glacial drift with an influence of volcanic ash over dense glaciomarine deposit(till). Depth to restrictive layer is 20 to 39 inches. Drainage class is moderately well drained. Available water in the upper 60 inches is about 4.2 inches (low).This supports the drainage class. Depth to water table varies between 2 to 3 feet. This is supported by septic system design soil log(permit#SWG 94-0743).This soil is identified in 8.52.160 Erosion Hazard Area (1)(iii)as a classified erosion hazard area and must be in compliance with standards/requirements found in 8.52.140(geologically hazardous areas) i.e. addressed in a geotechnical assessment. Area Geology:Vashon Stade till (Qgt)Pleistocene continental glacial till per Washington Geologic Information Portal and published Geologic Map for Squaxin Island. Cat Description: Unsorted and highly compacted mixture of clay,silt,sand, and gravel deposited directly by glacier ice; gray where fresh and light yellowish brown where oxidized;very low permeability; most commonly matrix-supported but may be clast-supported;matrix generally feels more gritty than outwash sands when rubbed between fingers,due to being more angular than water-worked sediments; cobbles and boulders commonly faceted and (or)striated;ranges in thickness from wispy, discontinuous layers less than 1 in.thick to more than 30 ft.thick;thicknesses of 2 to 10 ft. are most common;till may include outwash clay, sand, silt,and gravel, or ablation till that is too thin to substantially mask the underlying,rolling till plain; erratic boulders are commonly associated with till plains but may also occur as lag deposits where the underlying deposits have been modified by meltwater;typically,weakly developed modern soil has formed on the cap of loose gravel,but the underlying till is un-weathered; local textural features in the till include flow banding and apophyses extending 10 to 15 ft.downward into underlying sand and gravel (or till) and that are oriented transverse to ice flow direction. Age: Pleistocene Lithology:continental glacial till Age-Lithology: Pleistocene continental glacial till Topography: Northwest oriented ridgetop with complex side slopes.The majority of the project lies between the elevations of 140 to 180 foot(top of ridge);this is a 40 foot vertical change. Based on the project location to this topography the projects location is at the very top of the water shed.Water accumulation is expected to be low due to lack of external sources i.e.wetlands, lakes or streams. Slopes: Using Mason County 10 foot contour data in ArcMap, cross section lines were constructed to measure slopes.The slopes fluctuate on the project area with 82%of the area being<30%, 12%being 30 to 40%and 6% being>40%slopes.Approximately 80%of the project area is<15%slope and this occurs on the southern half of the parcel. Slope Stability Rating:The Coastal Zone Atlas Portal rates the slopes in project area as stable with some intermediate stable slope along stream.The intermediate stable slope is contained within the 150 foot undisturbed vegetation area. Liquefaction Rating: Low to Very Low per Washington Geologic Information Portal.This appears to be the predominate rating for Mason County. Seismic Site Class:C and C-D per Washington Geologic Information Portal. It appears that the majority of Mason County is a site class C. Seismic Features: Per the Washington Geologic Information Portal,there is a visible fault line approximately 5 miles southwest of the project.There is also an inferred seismic fold approximately 13 mile to the northeast. Land Slides: No active landslides have been documented in the immediate project vicinity per searches of both Coastal Zone Atlas and the Washington Geologic Information Portal. Some unverified geologic land forms are noted but they occur north of the project area and are separated from the project by the stream.These are entirely outside the project area and their toe is protected by the vegetation area afforded the critical area stream. Critical Area:There is a stream identified on project map as stream "A"which has a DN R water type classification of F.This is a stream that is> 2 feet wide, has a gradient of<16%and may support fish. This stream is located along northern property boundary and has been verified.This stream will be protected with a 150 foot vegetation area.The size of this vegetation area is 1 acre which is 25%of the lot area.The stream morphology is low gradient(5%)and is modestly restricted in a U shaped bottom. The bottom has an average width of 31 feet as measured from contour lines.As expected with low gradient/low velocity streams,very little to no bank scouring or cutting was observed. Anticipated Potential Offsite Impacts:Short term would be noise and traffic. Intermediate would be possible erosion,but this will depend on precipitation timing and re-vegetation timing.Timing is already addressed in 8.52.140(4) (B)(v)for precipitation.Concerns of sediment affecting the stream are very low given the undisturbed vegetation area size(150 feet). It would take a significant release of water (more than just precipitation)to breach this much of a setback. Long term potential is expect to be low given the knowledge of the site conditions. A land slide would directly impact the stream and Peale Passage.Any slide would most likely be contained to the stream gorge. Other public resources identified downstream are E Maples Road (approximately 800 ft.) and four structures(approximately>1000 ft.) which are well outside the stream gorges foot print as determined by Lidar image.All measurements were made from the geo-center of the subject parcel.
