FINDINGS OF FACT:
l. The proposed campus renovation is located on the existing school site in the unincorporated area
of Mason County. The project site is approximately 80 acres. The current high school is located
on the southwest corner of the site and will he modernized for a middle school, a new replacement
high school and central kitchen will be constructed. The existing middle school and central
kitchen will be demolished and a new stadium and fields will be constructed. Site access will
remain the same and on-site circulation will be improved. In general the site terrain is rolling;
area's of construction are previously developed and are relatively flat. The surrounding area is
rural residential.
2. The site is located within the Mason County Comprehensive Plan. The site is zoned rural
residential 10 (RR-10).
3. The proposed project will need to secure a Special Use Permit,pursuant to Mason County
Development Regulations, Chapter 17.
4. Mason County Development Regulations, Chapter 17 is applicable to this proposal.
5. An environmental review is required for the proposal in accordance with the State Environmental
Policy Act(SEPA),Chapter 43.21 C,RCW,and Section 18D20.010,Mason County Development
Regulations. An Environmental Checklist was issued on November 21,2013 for review and
comment.
6. No significant cultural/historical resources have been identified on the site. If archaeological
materials(e.g. bones, shell, stone tools, beads, ceramics, old bottles, hearths, etc.) or human
remains are observed during project construction,all work in the immediate area should stop.
The project proponent will immediately contact the State Department of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation,the County planning office,the affected Tribe(s) and the county coroner(if
applicable) in order to help assess the situation and determine how to reserve the resource(s).
Compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to archaeological resources (RCW 27.53, 27.44
and WAC 25-48) is required. If federal funds or permits are involved in the project,notification to
the appropriate federal agency and the Advisory Council should occur in addition to the above-
listed parties,per 36 CFR Sec 800.12.
7. The proposal will have no significant adverse environmental impacts on wetlands, fish and
wildlife, water, noise,transportation, air quality,environmental health,public services and utilities
or land and shoreline uses.
8. The grading and placement of fill material increase the likelihood of erosion and sedimentation.
Pursuant to Department of Ecology 2005 Stormwater Manual,a temporary erosion and
sedimentation control plan is required to be approved and implemented on the project site prior to
and during site development. Potential significant adverse impacts associated with erosion and
sedimentation are adequately mitigated through compliance with this regulation.
t.
9. No regulated streams or buffers have been identified on the project site pursuant to Chapter
17.01.110—Fish and Wildlife Conservation Areas, Mason County Development Regulations.
10. No regulated wetlands have been identified on the project site pursuant to Chapter 17.01.070 -
Wetlands,Mason County Development Regulations.
11. Pursuant to Department of Ecology 2005 Stormwater Manual, a storm drainage plan as part of the
site development plan submittal and subsequent installation of an approved stormwater
management system on the project site is required. Potential significant adverse environmental
impacts associated with increased stormwater runoff from this development are adequately
mitigated through compliance with this regulation.
12. The proposal does not increase existing volumes of traffic. No traffic impacts have been
identified.
CONCLUSION: The Responsible Official has determined that the proposal does not have a probable
significant impact on the environment,and an Environmental Impact Statement(EIS) is not required
under RCW 43.21 C.030(2). This decision was made after review of the completed environmental
checklist, other information on file with the Mason County School District#403, and existing regulations.
This information is available to the public on request.
NOTE: The issuance of this Determination of Nonsignificance does not constitute project approval. The
North Mason School District#403 will comply with all other applicable requirements of Mason County
issuance of a special use and building permit.
NOTE: Pursuant to RCW 43.21C.075,the final decisions of the Responsible Official may be appealed.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
North Mason High SchoohtMiddle School Campus Renovation
RCW 197-11-960 Environmental Checklist
Purpose of Checklist:
The State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA),chapter 43.21 C1 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 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,if it
can be done)and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
Instructions for Applicants:
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 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 hue 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 nonproject proposals:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals,even though the questions may be answered"does not apply." IN ADDITION,
complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS(part D).
For non project actions,the references in the checklist to the words"project,""applicant,"and"property or site"should be read as
"proposal,""proposer,"and"affected geographic area,"respectively.
