Paul Shinners:
On Tuesday April 9, 2013, I received a message about trees of deteriorating health on a
property at Panther Lake (parcel Number 12306-50-01017; 110 NE Panther Lake Rd.) and
a letter from Forestech LLC prepared by Earl Kong (certified arborist) describing the concern for
the condition of two Douglas Fir trees on the property.
Based upon the description and the associated photos of the two trees that were included for
my review, I conclude that you may proceed with your proposed danger tree removal of two
trees on this parcel per Mason County Resource Ordinance standards, care for bank stability
along the lake, and guidance of a certified arborist.

Re: Hazard trees evaluation at 110 NE Panther Lake Road.
Mason County, WA.
Dear: Mr. Shinners,
This letter confirms the findings of my hazard tree evaluation at 110 NE Panther Lake
Road,Mason County, Washington.
Two large Douglas fir trees were mechanically damaged in the past. The wounds from
the damage became infected by forest pathogens, have been decaying for some time, and
will continue to decay. I am recommending that both trees be removed in the interest of
safety. The trees can be identified by large bulges near the base of their stems.
Please feel free to contact me.
Best regards
Earl Kong
Forester.
