Dear Mr. Yando:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the determination of nonsignificance
for the grade of 37,590 cubic yards and fill of 2,631 cubic yards for
construction of a roadway access to a large lot subdivision proposed by Mr. Harry
Nelson (93-11) . We reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following
comments.
Erosion control measures should be in place prior to any clearing, grading, or
construction. These control measures should be effective to prevent soil from
being carried into surface water by stormwater runoff. Sand, silt, and soil will
damage aquatic habitat and are considered pollutants. Causing or allowing
pollutants to enter state waters carries a maximum penalty of $10,000 per day.
If you have any questions, please call Mr. Bill Young with our Water Quality
Program at (206) 586-5551.
Sincerely,
Barbara J. Ritchie

SUBJECT: Determination of Non-Significance - Harry Nelson Proponent
- Grading, Filling, Road Construction, and Community
Drainfield - Hood Canal, Tributary to Admiralty Inlet,
Section 09, Township 23 North, Range 03 West, Mason County,
SEPA Log No. 21187, WRIA 14.MARI
Dear Mr. Brush:
Washington Department of Fisheries (WDF) has reviewed the above-
referenced Determination of Non-Significance and offers the following
comments at this time. Other comments may be offered as the project
progresses.
The marine waters of Hood Canal are important producers of recrea-
tional and commercial species of shellfish. Maintenance of good
marine water quality is vitally important to ensure future harvest of
these shellfish resources. Pollution from non-point sources, a major
contributor to poor water quality, threatens this harvest.
Many of the upland areas adjacent to marine shore 14nes contain very
shallow native permeable soils and tight underlying soils, such as
clay. Community septic field sewage systems in areas containing
these soils can have a high failure rate due to horizontal effluent
flow along the impermeable soil layer subsequently surfacing in Hood
Canal. Frequently, the results are contaminated shellfish, shell-
fish decertification, and potential human health risk. Significant
decertification of oysters, geoducks, and other hardshell clams has
occurred due to such non-point sources in proximity to these
resources. Unless adequate measures are taken to reduce non-point
pollution, this problem will be greatly exacerbated in the future as
growth in the region is expected to increase.

The Atlas of Major Geoduck Tracts of Puget Sound, an unpublished
manuscript produced by WDF, indicates that commercial geoduck tract
number 87 , Ayock Point Tract, is located in the vicinity of the
proposal. According to the most recent survey in 1981, this tract
contains 72 , 000 pounds of geoduck with a current estimated value to
the state of $214 , 560 (current lease auction value of $2 . 98 per
pound) . Certification of this tract could be at risk due to non-
point pollution from the proposed community septic field sewage
system. Decertification would result in lost production, lost
harvest opportunity and lost revenue to the state.
WDF, therefore, strongly supports wastewater treatment and disposal
alternatives that do not have the potential for decertification of
commercial or recreational shellfish resources. These alternatives
include, but are not limited to, constructed treatment wetlands
utilizing subsequent rapid infiltration wetlands and upland storage
lagoons with spray land application.
One of the major impacts of development adjacent to marine waters, is
the introduction of fine grained sediments and pollutants such as
oils, heavy metals, phosphates, etc. , into marine receiving waters
from roadways, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces. This
run-off and the pollutants it contains can adversely affect fish life
by filling estuarine and nearshore rearing and spawning habitats, by
covering up eelgrass beds, by changing invertebrate and vertebrate
species diversity and abundance, and by contaminating important sport
and commercial shellfish beds. In order to protect water quality
affecting these and other fish resources and habitats, stormwater
run-off must be treated.
The applicant has not provided details of a stormwater system design
for evaluation of potential impacts to fish resources and their
habitat. Without such details, we cannot evaluate the effectiveness
of the proposed drainage plan for protection of these resources and
habitats.
WDF has developed stormwater management guidelines for the purpose of
protecting fish habitat and aquatic life (enclosed) . The final
drainage plan for the proposed development shall conform to the water
quality section of these guidelines. A Hydraulic Project Approval
shall be required from the Department of Fisheries for the stormwater
system.

Re: Comments received on Determination of Nonsignificance (SEPA)
issued by Mason County 1/21/93 for the grading and filling and
construction of a roadway access to large lot subdivision and for
future placement of drainfield for Jorstad Creek Mobile Home Park
proposal .
Dear Mr. Fors and Mr. Connolly:
Thank you for commenting on the above referenced SEPA action. You
noted five comments which we are addressing as follows. Please
reference your letter.
Number 1. Construction of the road along the existing easement
will occur a significant distance north of the creek exiting Fosens
Lake. The existing topography will prevent impacts to the creek as
a result of any sedimentation or other impacts associated with
construction of this road. Impacts occurring to the creek from
future on-site septic systems located on any of the lots comprising
this large-lot subdivision will be evaluated on a case by case
basis as septic system permits are applied for. The lot (s)
utilized for the Jorstad Creek Mobile Home Park community
drainfield are at the far north end of the property over a half
mile away from the creek.
Number 2 . As a condition of the Grading Permit, the access road
leading to the Ayock Beach Water System reservoir will remain
intact and accessible in its current state. We will require a
letter from the applicant indicating same. . A copy of this letter
will be sent to you.
Number 3 . Upgrading of the fire hydrant area cannot be required of
the applicant under this permit. We will advise them of your
concerns and point out the benefits which this could provide.
Number 4 . The applicant is not seeking access to Hood Canal at
this time. It is understood that Ayock Beach consists of private
property and that trespass across such property could not occur
without permission.
-r
Number 5. The issue of drainage is a paramount one. As the
drainage, initially leads to the state highway right-of-way, the
Department of Transportation is responsible for ensuring that
minimum impacts occur. I have enclosed a copy of a letter sent to
Mason County from DOT. They are currently reviewing an engineered
drainage plan for the site and have requested that the County hold
the permit until their concerns are satisfied.
Mason County will require standard erosion-control devices during
construction of -the roadway. The Mason County Building Department
may require additional erosion-control measures when they review
the application. Staff from both the Building and Planning
departments will monitor the work. If impacts begin occurring to
the shoreline environment we will stop the project until the
problem can be rectified.
Regarding the Jorstad Creek Mobile Home Park, the applicant is
continuing to submit requested information to Mason County. We are
currently waiting for an engineered drainage design for the park
(to be located uphill from the existing Jorstad Creek Park a mile
north of Ayock) . No SEPA Threshold Determination has been arrived
at for that project. Review and permitting of the community
drainfield located on one or more of the northernmost lots in the
subdivision above Ayock will be undertaken as a component of the
overall park proposal environmental review. The site will be
posted when comments are being solicited and additional information
is available.
We hope this addresses your concerns. If you have any questions
regarding the above, don' t hesitate to call . Thank you.

subject[ Evaluation of site geology and its
effect on your proposed access road. to
the 73+/- acre property at Ayock Point
area on the Hood Canal, Mason County,
Washington.
Dear Mr. Rux:
As requested, we met on your property to discuss the
improvements to the roughly pioneered access road from
Highway 101 to the upland area of your property. This
letter will present our evaluation of site geology,
recommendations for improvement to the roadway, and
address questions of site work on the stability of the
slope.
The slope from 101 to the upland area is stee�, with
estimated natural slope angles of about 359. The
trees growing on the slope suggest that soil creep,
the slow downslope movement of the active soil zone,
is the most active erosional agent now at work in the
upper areas . On investigating soil ea:posures, we
found cropping out in the lower slopes, coarsely
laminated silts. Our interpretation of the these
silts is that they are lacustrine in origin and
associated with moraine-dammerd lakes, ice marginal
lakes, and kettles. These lakes result from alpine
type of glaciation which predates the overlying
gravels that form the upper slope. The gravels are
probably of Vachon age and were deposited as
recessional outwash deposits.
After the retreat of the Vachon continental ice sheet
and the melting of the glacier that formed the fjord
that is now Hood Canal, the recessional outwash sands

and gravels were deprived of their lateral support.
This loss of support resulted in major landslides
along this area during the past 14,000 years. Cutting
of the roadway for Highway 101 into the toe of the
slope has destabilized portions of this old slide! by
removal of toe support.
Aiding in creation of elope instability are the
underlying lacustrine silts. These silts are for all
practical purposes impermeable. Water infiltrating
through the highly permeable and porous recessional
outwash gravels migrates downward until it encounters
the underlying lacustrine silts . The water then has
to flow laterally on the surface of the silts. This
flow of water is what creates springs and seeps that
are comnon at the contact where it daylights adjacent
to the highway. During periods of heavy or prolonged
rain fall, the water can result in the build-up, of
excessive pore pressure and piping of fines which can
destabilize the slope. A discussion of the Jorsted
Creek Slide by Robert Carson and Jeffrey Gryta is
presentee in the Washington Geologic Newsletter Volume
2, Number 3 and provides information on the mechanism
of this slide that occurred to the north of your
property.
To gain access to the upland area of the property,
construction of an access road is proposed. We
understand from our field conversation that you
propose to start the grade up from the area across
from this entrance to the Ayoc:k Point development. We
recommend that the grade for this ramp be set to
ensure that the improved road enters above the contact
with tha lacustrine silts. Setting the grade to
contact into the silts will result in seepage or water
flows that will need to be controlled and will
increase the risk of slumping or sloughing of soils
onto the roadway, with damage or closure likely. By
walking the existing pioneered roadway, you can
determine the area where the existing road is cut into
gravels and above any observed springs. We estimate
that this silts extend up for about 20 to 30 feet above
the elevation of Highway 101 in this area.
For construction of the ramp to support the new
roadway alinement, we have enclosed a copy of our
Recommended Grading Specifications. Use of these

recommendations for filling will ensure that your work
is in conformance with indi_tstry practices and the
requirements of Chapters 70 and 29 of the Building
Code. As we have discussed, fill slopes utilizing
compacted gravels and sandy gravels can be constructed
to slopes of 1.5: 1 (horizontal to vertical) without
creating unstable slopes. We have observed that
ravelling of the near-surfacc.i soils and sheet erosion
are more of a problem than 2: 1 slopes .
Cutting the roadway into thf:i slope is feasible using
good civil engineering practices. We suggest that the
maximum cut slope be limited to four feet of vertical
cut without construction of: retaining structures .
Unrestrained slopes will slough to an angle of
internal friction which is estimated to mimic the
natural slope angles, about: 350. Collection of
runoff from the roadway surface will be required to
prevent localized saturation and creation of unstable
slopes . We suggest that all. water from the roadways
be disposed of in an approved manner at the toe of the
slope.
In the lower portions of the roadway, some long-germ
improvement to slope stability may be realized by
drilling horizontal drains immediately above the
contact with the lacustrine silts. These horizontal
drains would relieve the potential for buildup of
hydraulic pressures and excessive pore pressures which
could destabilize the slope under the roadway. As the
roadway moves away from the toe towards the upland
area, these horizontal drains would be of some limited
use in improving stability.
Our evaluation of the propose(I roadway is that it is a
feasible project without creating excessive risks, of
failure from earth movements. The trees growing on
the slopes indicate that this area has been stable for
a period of at least 40 years. Local, isolated, small
areas of instability are found along the toe. These
areas may cause future failure of the slope, which
could in an extreme circumstance cause loss or damage
to the roadway. To cause this type of loss, a major
mass wasting event would need to occur. To minimize
this risk, control of surface water is required to
prevent areas of localized saturation. leaving the
slopes adjacent to the roadway with the existing
92021201
Page 4 of 4
vegetation undisturbed will help improve the long-germ
stability. Disposal of spoils from the construction
of the roadway over the slopr:s should not be allowed.
These spoils will adversely a:l'fect vegetation and will
probably become unstable soil masses as they are not
keyed and compacted into the slope.
Construction on slopes always involves some risk of
damage to improvements from earth movements. Four
proposed roadway is similar to logging roads and
access roads to other developments in the general
area. We do not think that you are at any greener
risk of loss than these roads are that traverse the
same geologic units .
We look forward to the opportunity to work with you on
this project. If you hav,-zs any questions, please
contact us at our Olympia office.

Purgose of Checklist:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43,21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to
consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact
statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impact 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, if it can be done) and to
help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
Instructions for Agalicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal
are significant, requiring preparation of 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 or your knowledge. In most cases, you
should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or Proposal 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
know" 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.
Use of checklist for non-Proposal proposals:
Complete this checklist for non-Proposal proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not
apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
For non-Proposal actions, the references in the checklist to the words "Proposal," 'applicant," and "property
