The Department of Ecology (Ecology)reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): REVIEWER: Sonia Mendoza WATER QUALITY CONTACT: Deborah Cornett(360) 407-7269 Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading,or construction. These control measures must be effective to prevent stormwater runoff from carving soil and other pollutants into surface water or stormdrains that lead to waters of the state. Sand, silt, clay particles, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered to be pollutants. Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of Chapter 90.48 RCW, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to enforcement action. The following construction activities require coverage under the Construction Stormwater General Permit: 1. Clearing, grading and/or excavation that results in the disturbance of one or more acres and discharges stormwater to surface waters of the State; and 2. Clearing, grading and/or excavation on sites smaller than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, if the common plan of development or October 23, 2014 Page 2 sale will ultimately disturb one acre or more and discharge stormwater to surface waters of the State. a) This includes forest practices(including,but not limited to,class IV conversions) that are part of a construction activity that will result in the disturbance of one or more acres, and discharge to surface waters of the State; and 3. Any size construction activity discharging stormwater to waters of the State that Ecology: a) Determines to be a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the State of Washington. b) Reasonably expects to cause a violation of any water quality standard. If there are known soil/ground water contaminants present on-site, additional information (including,but not limited to:temporary erosion and sediment control plans; stormwater pollution prevention plan; list of known contaminants with concentrations and depths found; a site map depicting the sample location(s); and additional studies/reports regarding contaminant(s))will be required to be submitted. You may apply online or obtain an application from Ecology's website at: http://www.ecy.wa.jzov/i)rop,rams/wg/stormwater/construction/-Application. Construction site operators must apply for a permit at least 60 days prior to discharging stormwater from construction activities and must submit it on or before the date of the first public notice. WATER RESOURCES: Vicki Cline(360) 407-0278 Any ground water withdrawals in excess of 5,000 gallons per day or for the irrigation of more than one-half acre of lawn or noncommercial garden, requires a water right permit from Ecology. All water wells shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 173-160 WAC by a driller licensed in the State of Washington. Well reports must be submitted to Ecology within 30 days after completion of a well. All water wells that may be drilled must be a minimum of 100 feet from any known, suspected, or potential source of contamination. Wells shall not be located within 1,000 feet of a solid waste landfill. WAC 173-160-171(1)The proposed water well shall be located where it is not subject to ponding and is not in the floodway,except as provided in Chapter 86.16 RCW. (2) It shall be protected from a one hundred year flood and from any surface or subsurface drainage capable of impairing the quality of the ground water supply. The Growth Management Act(RCW 19.27.097)requires an applicant to submit evidence of an adequate water supply before a building permit can be issued for any building requiring potable water. October 23,2014 Page 3 Ecology's comments are based upon information provided by the lead agency. As such,they may not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action.

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from.the proposal) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instructions for Applicants: Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not known or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact There is a fee required, for the processing of the checklist, see above for the appropriate fee. Please make your check payable to"Mason County Treasurer". A BACKGROUND I 1. Name of proposed project: 2. Name of applicant: 41 ,�Zmaw_- SC(7'tj'A v Property owner. �� d 3.

Salmonids are salmon, trout and chars, e.g. bull trout. For our purposes, "ESA Listed Salmonids" is defined as fish species listed as endangered, threatened or being considered for listing. If ESA listed species are present or ever were present in the watershed where your project will be located, your project has the potential for affecting them, and you need to comply with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if the ESA listings will impact your project. The Fish Program Manager at the appropriate Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) regional office can provide information for the following two questions. 1. Are ESA listed salm- onids currently present in the watershed in which your project will be located? YES NO i//Please describe. 2. Has there ever been an ESA isted salmonid stock present in this watershed? YES_ NO_ Uncertain_ Please describe. If you answered "yes" to either of the above questions, you should complete the remainder of this checklist. PROJECT SPECIFICES: The questions in this section a specific to the project and vicinity. � 7 1. Name of watershed: 2. Name of nearest waterbody: &�22d-11� 3. What is the distance from this project to the nearest body of water. Often a buffer between the project and a stream can reduce the chance of a negative act to ish. 4. What is the current land use between the project and the potentially affected water body (parking lots, farmland, etc.)? J � 5. is the project above a: * natural permanent barrier(waterfall) YES_ NO * natural temporary barrier(beaver pond) YES_ NO t/ * man-made barrier(culvert, dam) YES_ NO • other(explain): 6. If yes, are there any resident salmonid populations above the blockage? YES_ NO_ Don't know _ 7. What percent of the project will be impervious surface (including pavement & roof area)? G " Mason County SEPA Checklist 11 FISH MIGRATION: The following questions will help determine if this project could interfere with migration of adult and juvenile fish. Both increases and decreases in water flows can affect fish migration. 1. Does the project require the withdrawal of: a. Surface water? YES NO Amount Name of surface water body b. Ground water? YES�O— Amount From where � X Depth of well 1210, 2. Will any water be rerouted: YES_ NO ^� If yes, will this require a channel change? 3. Will there be retention or detention ponds? YES_ NO If yes, will this be an infiltration pond or a surface discharge to either a municipal storm water system or a surface water body? If to a surface waterbody, please give the name of the waterbody. YES_ NO 4. Will this project require the building of new roads? YES_ NO�-- Increased road mileage may affect the timing of water reaching a stream and may impact fish habitat. 5. Are culverts proposed as part of this project? YES_ NO 6. Will topography changes affect the duration/direction of runoff flows? YES_ NO�- If yes, describe the changes. 7. Will the project involve any reduction of the floodway or floodplain by filling or other partial blockage of flows? YES_ NO If yes, how will the loss of flood storage be mitigated by your project? WATER QUALITY: The following questions will help determine if this project could adversely impact water quality. Such impacts can cause problems for listed species. Water quality can be made worse by runoff from impervious surfaces, altering water temperature, discharging contaminants, etc. 1. Do you know of any problems with water quality, in any of the streams, within this watershed? YES_ NO If yes, describe. Mason County SEPA Checklist 12 2. Will your project either re ce or increase shade along or over a waterbody? YES_ NO_ If yes, describe. Removal of shading vegetation or the building of structures such as docks or floats often results in a change in shade. 3. Will the project increase nutrient loading or have the potential to increase nutrient loading or contaminants (fertilizers, other waste-discharges, or runoff) to the waterbody? If yes, describe. YES NO 4. Will turbidity be increased because of construction of the project or during operation of the project? YES_ NO_L_,�, In-water or near water work will often increase turbidity. 5. Will your project require long-term maintenance, i.e. bridge cleaning, highway salting, and chemical sprays for vegetation management, clearing of parking lots? YES_ NO yes, please describe. VEGETATION: The following questions are designed to determine if the project will affect riparian vegetation, thereby, adversely impacting salmon. 1. Will the project involve the removal of any vegetation from the stream banks: YES NO If yes, please describe the existing conditions, and the amount and type of vegetation to be removed. 2. If any vegetation is removed, do you plan to re-plant? YES _ NO_ If yes, what types of plants will you use? The above answers are true and complete to the best of my knowledge.

I believe this facility will improve the ability of the Humane Society to offer services to the residents of our county. Mason County lacks the facilities to adequately meet the animal welfare needs of our community. This project would be a tremendous step forward, at no cost for local taxpayers. The Humane Society is a well-regarded non-profit agency, and I am pleased to stand in support of their efforts in Mason County. If I can be of assistance on this or future projects,please do not hesitate to contact me. Very truly yours, Drew MacEwen Member House of Representatives LEGISLATIVE OFFICE: 431 JOHN L.O'BRIEN BUILDING • PO BOX 40600,OLYMPIA,WA 98504-0600 • 360-786-7902 E-MAIL: Drew.MacEwen@leg.wa.gov TOLL-FREE LEGISLATIVE HOTLINE: 1-800-562-6000 • TDD: 1-800-635-9993 • www.leg.wa.gov PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
