Excepting therefrom the following described: Beginning at a point on the shore of Hood Canal, SB4"09'46'1N. 671.31 Feet distant from meander corner of fractional sections 33 and 34, T22N, R3W, W.M. in mason county Washington; thence S00'50'E, 273.04 Feet,- Thence S81"29'W, 50.56 Feet; Thence N00"50'W 272.53 feet; Thence N80"54'E, 50.64 feet to the point of Beginning. Excepting therefrom right of way 60 feet in width for Navy Yard Highway, as the same is now located and in use: The forgoing land being also known and described as tracts lettered U and V and the East 50 Feet of tract no. 12 of the unrecorded plat of Callison's Olympic view tracts, being a subdivision of the west one Half of Gov't Lot 1, Sec 33, T22N, R3W, W.M., in Mason County Washington. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. Earth a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other . . . . .. The site is located on a slight bluff gently sloping toward SR106 to the North b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? Less than 35 % Slope c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The geology of the site consists of Vashon till that transition into Pleistocene sand deposits, consisting of sands, silty sands, and pebbly sands commonly bedded. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. There are no surface/visual indications of unstable soils other then the apparent altered growth patterns on some larger trees located along the lower slopes on the site. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. There is no proposed filling or grading for this project other than what is required for the placement of the foundations, driveways and drainage. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. As with any construction site where the ground is bared, Erosion can be expected. Extensive ditching throughout the site could provide a path for confluents to reach the canal l g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Less than one percent h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Minimize areas cleared. Minimize traffic on affected areas by constructing temporary/permanent driveways. Erect barriers (straw bales) to divert runoff away from the open excavation. Complete surface work prior to peek rain season. 2. Air a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Increases in Vehicular emissions could be projected as a result of heavy (diesel) equipment used in the preparation of the foundations and installations of construction panels. Dust should be minimal, as the framing utilizes an offsite manufactured panel system. Interior framing is minimized. Onsite (industrial burning) is not planned. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. No c.
